On the show The Tennis, Tim Henman spoke about Novak Djokovic's chances of winning another Grand Slam. He obviously mentioned Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as the main obstacles to that.

"He could reach another Grand Slam final, but I think he's counting on someone else to beat Alcaraz or Sinner.

"Alcaraz and Sinner will be in the final in Melbourne"

It will be interesting to see what happens with his ranking, his seeding position, if he has to face one of them, Alcaraz or Sinner, in the quarter-finals, or if he is protected and faces them in the semi-finals.

But I think it's mainly the physical aspect, the recovery, which certainly doesn't get easier with age. What's scary is that Alcaraz and Sinner are improving, while they are 14 years younger.

Listen, I'm quite confident: barring any surprises, Alcaraz and Sinner will be in the final in Melbourne."

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. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

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.
