Davis Cup Finale 2023

A gorgeous Trophy!

 

With the Davis Cup comes the end of the 2023 tennis season. Here is wishing for an exciting, competitive and rowdy Davis Cup.

WWTA 500 San Diego, CA, WTA 250 Osaka, Japan + ATP Davis Cup

This year, a handful of Americans made strides into the second week of the USO:   - Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Jessica Pegula. Ben Shelton and Madison Keys went as far as the SFs. But the big news is that the youngest of all the Americans at 19 years old went the distance and lifted the trophy for the women's championship - CoCo Gauff  - her 1st Major title after winning  the Cincinnati Western & Southern Open 1000 just the week before!

On the men's side, there were fewer surprises other than Ben Shelton's feat, and Novak Djokovic lifted his 24th Major title.

Congratulations to all of this year's final Major champions:

Men's Singles: Novak Djokovic d. Daniil Medvedev 

Women Singles: Cori Gauff d.Aryna Sabalenka

Men's Doubles: Ram/Salisbury d. Bopanna/Ebden

Women Doubles: Dabrowski/Routiffe d. Siegemund/Zvonareva

Mixed Doubles: Danilina/Heliovaara d. Pegula/Krajicek

This week is slow compared to the last few months with only two WTA tournaments and the Davis Cup Finals👇

A 2021 Recap...

Hello MCMers - we asked our researcher extraordinaire, Hartt and two of our Moderators, JoJoDiplomat and Trinigirl to share their thoughts on the past year. Interspersed with the pictures of the 2021 slam winners are Hartt's, Trinigirl's and JoJo's thoughts on the fast waning 2021. Who or what impressed them? Who made an impact - good or bad - hopefully good.

Note:  This thread should take us through until end of December.
