The South American clay court tour, better known as the Golden Swing, seems increasingly weakened by recent calendar adjustments made by the ATP.

Now reduced to three weeks — compared to four previously — it includes the tournaments in Buenos Aires, Rio, and Santiago.

"They are sabotaging the tour"

Mariano Navone, a regular at these clay court events, expressed his dissatisfaction with the ATP in an interview relayed by Tennisnews.

The Argentine player shared his doubts about the future of these tournaments, which are extremely popular in South America.

"This whole situation is strange, it's complicated. The ATP's decisions are sometimes a bit controversial. I feel like they are sabotaging the tour. This is the tour that sells the most tickets.

It's really a shame, because our country has an incredible tennis tradition. They are ruining everything. These are tournaments that fill the stands, I don't understand their logic."

72e, 785 points

Wait, what? The tour that sells most tickets? Show me the money.

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.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...
