Novak Djokovic gave an interview to Vijesti, a Montenegrin daily newspaper.

Although the Serb suffered a muscle tear during the Australian Open, he is likely to be back to play in Doha.

He spoke about what still motivates him to play tennis at his age, while sometimes regretting his behavior on the tennis courts: "A lot of people around me ask me why I continue, because I've already achieved everything in tennis.

The answer is simple: firstly, because I love tennis. And secondly, because tennis is the field in which I develop the most as a person.

It may sound strange, but during a match I feel an incredible range of emotions, from euphoria to anger to disappointment.

Sometimes I'm even ashamed of the way I behave and what I think at times like this.

But I'm proud to be able, despite all that, to behave with dignity, to shake my opponent's hand, whether I've won or lost."

There are a lot of people using this app who said that he was faking his injury... but they are very quiet now! Perhaps they are idiots?

Yes, Fred, the cat from their profile is more intelligent.

I have to admit I was one who wondered when he was limping, then ran like a deer against Alcaraz. I do not believe Novak would retire from a GS match unless he was hurt, though, as he did later.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
