She's done it.

Qinwen Zheng, world number 7, has just defeated Dona Vekic in the final (6-2, 6-3), winning the gold medal for her nation.

Faced with a Croatian player in great physical pain, the match proved relatively easy, although the Chinese player was slightly shaken in the second set when Vekic, driven by the force of despair, came back to 3-3.

It's a great story for the 21-year-old, especially when you remember that she saved a match point in the third round against Emme Navarro (6-7, 7-6, 6-1) before eliminating world number 1 Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals (6-2, 7-5).

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.
