Alexander Zverev was asked about recent statements from players claiming it is now easier to break into the Top 10 than it was before.

He responded: "Certainly not, it’s much harder now. When I first entered the top 10 in 2017, yes, the top 10 was very strong. There were top-level players like Novak, Rafa, Roger, Andy, Stan, del Potro.

However, I’d say the level from 10th to 20th, and then from 20th to 30th, was much lower than it is today. Yes, the top was incredible, but the depth is far greater now."

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.
