This Friday sees the semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros. Although the Italian is the clear favorite, some feel that the Serb has a good chance.

For John McEnroe, if the match were to go to 5 sets, Djokovic would have the advantage. He explains: "Believe it or not, I think if it came down to five sets, I'd give the edge to Novak, even though he's older, because Sinner hasn't played much lately.

I think you have to wonder how he's going to cope mentally and physically, given that he hasn't played many matches. It's quite surprising when you think about it, given that one is 38 and the other 23.

Djokovic won't be easy to deal with, I promise you. He knows he doesn't have many chances left, I imagine, unless he's Superman. Well, maybe he is.

But Sinner will be more aggressive than Zverev. These guys hit so hard that you have to go very fast to try and get the ball back. I think Sinner will try to play that way, and we'll see if Novak can handle it."

with al due respect to Djokovic, Sinner won’t lose a set the way he’s playing right now, it’s almost robotic

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.
