Eliminated in the semifinals at Wimbledon, Djokovic hadn’t lost before the final since 2017. Still chasing another Grand Slam title, the Serbian knows his time is limited and every detail matters, as former champion Jimmy Connors explains.

"A tennis player like Djokovic has to watch his time and measure the effort he puts into tournaments because he’s now the oldest player on the tour. If he wants to improve his game and try to win the most important event of the latter part of the season, namely the US Open, he has to calculate all of that. It makes perfect sense—even I, after Wimbledon, also took some rest and then prepared to compete again."

For context, Jimmy Connors was among the list of older players to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament (39 years old at the US Open).

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.
