Zverev has qualified for the Australian Open final, following Novak Djokovic's withdrawal after one set.

The Serb exited to the booing of the Rod Laver Arena crowd. In a post-match interview, Zverev came to the Serb's rescue.

He declared: "Please, don't boo any player, least of all Novak. He has done everything imaginable for this sport, he has tried to compete despite his problems.

I know you paid for a ticket, but he's given everything to this sport for 20 years and won this tournament with a torn abdominal muscle. Show him some love.

I had to play the best set of the tournament to beat him while he was injured. He's too strong."

Zverev awaits the winner of the match between Ben Shelton and Jannik Sinner in the final.

Respect for Zverev too - that is very mature & gentlemen like conduct.

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.
