Emma Raducanu delivered an impressive performance against Aryna Sabalenka in Cincinnati but ultimately fell in the third-set tiebreak (7-6, 4-6, 7-6).

The third set was notably interrupted at 4-3, 40-40, during the Brit's service game. She complained to the chair umpire about a crying child in the crowd.

She then asked if it was possible to have the child removed from the stands (see video below).

Chair umpire: "It's a child making noise. Do you want me to have them removed from the stadium?"

Raducanu: "Yes (smiling).

Does noone else think that the parents should have taken the child out of the stadium sooner. The child had been screaming for a couple of games. I am sure the parents would have been mortified, I know I would but who knows what goes through their minds to let their child scream. It was probably screaming because of the heat, all the more reason to have taken the poor kid out

Yes, if it's a child they should not be there, because it contains disturbance while serving and playing, even in the church the priests were bothered when they heard a child crying inside the church, so then it must be ban inside some premises that could give some annoyance to them.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
