"You're 15 years old and you play like that!", the amusing exchange between Bublik and Sinner in Miami in 2021

On March 31, 2021, during the quarter-final of the Florida Masters 1000, the precocious genius Jannik Sinner struck again.

By dominating an Alexander Bublik who was as bewildering as he was fascinated, the Italian won over the crowd, and even his opponent. When shaking hands, the Kazakh expressed his admiration for the Italian, who was 19 years old at the time:

"Dude, you're not human. You're 15 years old and you play like that!"

On the court, it was a close match. Bublik, known for his unpredictable shots, tried to disrupt the Italian's rhythm. But Sinner, relentless, did not falter. He performed well on return of serve (40%) and was effective during key moments (3/6 break points). Result: 7-6, 6-4.

What happened next? Sinner managed to reach the tournament final. Unfortunately, he lost to Hurkacz in two sets (7-6, 6-4).

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
