Alexander Zverev has a great opportunity in Canada. With the elimination of Medvedev, Sinner, Tsitsipas and Dimitrov, he is now the overwhelming favorite to win the title on Monday.

Faced with Holger Rune, still in search of his best form, in the Round of 16, the German perfectly controlled the proceedings, winning in two sets (6-3, 7-6).

Although he didn't play his best tennis, he didn't panic and calmly reached the quarter-finals, where Sebastian Korda awaits him, having benefited from Casper Ruud's withdrawal.

Asked about his victory, Zverev was measured, explaining that he hadn't played well due to the very windy conditions, but was nonetheless satisfied with the result: "It's difficult to play, without a doubt.

I knew it wasn't going to be a pretty match, that it wasn't going to be fantastic, because with this wind, it's just not possible.

I knew I had to find a way to win, and today I did.

You can't make the aggressive shots you might like to make, because you can't take as many risks as you'd like.

I'm happy with the win, with being in the quarter-finals. It wasn't my best tennis, the most important thing was to get the win."

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.?
