Eliminated in the quarterfinals of the WTA 125 in Colina last week by Laura Samson (1-6, 6-2, 7-5), Carole Monnet wanted revenge against the Czech player. The two women met again in the first round of the WTA 125 in Buenos Aires. The match scenario was similar to the one from just a few days ago, as the Frenchwoman, ranked 158th in the world this week, took the lead to easily win the first set.

But the WTA's 233rd-ranked player gained momentum and eventually found the key to win in three sets (2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in 1h50). The 17-year-old player advances to the round of 16 where she could face another French player, Léolia Jeanjean. The unfortunate finalist in Colina, the world number 100, will challenge Luisina Giovannini in the coming hours and will therefore face Samson for a spot in the quarterfinals if successful.

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
