Novak Djokovic is paired with Fernando Verdasco in the doubles draw of the ATP 500 in Doha.

Verdasco will officially retire at the end of the tournament.

The two men didn't need to exert themselves in their first round matches against Alexander Bublik and Karen Khachanov.

They won 6-1, 6-1 in 50 minutes of play, all in good spirits.

At the end of the match, Verdasco declared: "I have to say that after this match, I shouldn't be playing in the 2nd round... I should just retire with a win.

Thank you very much for coming, see you on Wednesday."

They will face Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten in the quarter-finals.

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions.

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.
