Aryna Sabalenka lost her second consecutive Grand Slam final this year, surrendering to Coco Gauff in three sets at Roland Garros.

The world No. 1, extremely disappointed with the result, didn’t hold back during her press conference, complaining about the windy playing conditions in the final. Chris Evert, a seven-time champion in Paris, shared her thoughts on the matter in comments reported by *The Tennis Gazette*:

"When I heard Aryna say it was her worst final, I was surprised. You have to adjust your game. It’s the same for both players. You need to make those adjustments. If you’re world No. 1 or No. 2, you should know how to play in the wind.

You really have to be ready and prepare your shot faster. You have to understand that and make the court feel smaller than usual. You can’t always aim for the lines if it’s windy. I think Coco adapted better to those conditions.

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.
