Novak Djokovic was at a press conference in Monte-Carlo on Saturday. The Serb spoke about Rafael Nadal's current attempt to return to competition. The world number 1 explained that he had no more information on the Spaniard's physical state of health than anyone else. But he hopes to see his greatest rival back, at least for the French Open.

Novak Djokovic: "It's the question of questions. I don't know if Rafa will be able to compete again. Nobody knows that information better than him, his family and his team. It's always important for tennis to have Rafa on the courts, and especially this year, which may be his last chance, his last Roland-Garros, the last season of his career.

It's a shame to see him withdraw from all these tournaments since the start of the season. I don't know what the situation is with his body. But, more than anyone else, he has the right to do what he wants. Because he's a legend in our sport.

As a tennis fan, I hope he'll be able to come back and, at the very least, play on his favorite clay, at Roland-Garros."

He won't come back stronger by the looks of it, that's why he isn't playing because it's almost impossible for him to play at a high level now. He might play Barcelona and Rome i think and if he doesn't enter those 2 tournaments as well especially Rome then it's the end of the road for him

Can still see him coming back strong. The surgery was the big hurdle. I see this more of a very cautious approach. When he played Alc in the exhibition he was not far away. Mainly issue with serve, but still not far off.

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.
