Zheng Qinwen created a huge sensation on Thursday, dominating Iga Swiatek to reach the final of the Olympic Games at Roland-Garros, where the Pole had remained on a 27-match winning streak. It was the first victory over a world No.1 for the Chinese player, who is also the first representative of her country to reach the Olympic final (Li Na finished 4th in Beijing in 2008).

Aware and happy to have already made history, Zheng is not content to rest on her laurels. She will face Donna Vekic on Saturday in her bid for gold.

Zheng Qinwen: "I'm so happy to be able to make history for China. But I know the fight isn't over. It's not the end...
I've already written history, but I don't want to stop here."

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.
