Despite his 6-2, 6-2 first-round win over Jesper De Jong in Hamburg, Alexander Zverev didn't exactly reassure his fans at the press conference.

Asked about the knee injury he sustained during the Wimbledon tournament, the German explained that he hadn't really recovered.

In remarks relayed by Eurosport Germany, he explained: "In the morning, during the warm-up, I wasn't feeling very well, but during the match, I felt much better.

It's going to take time. In any other tournament, I wouldn't even try to play. Hamburg is something special for me, my country."

In the Round of 16, the world number 4 will face Hugo Gaston of France.

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.
