The words are strong, and spoken by someone who knows what greatness is. When asked about Novak Djokovic, Tony Parker did not hesitate for a single second:

"Novak is one of the best athletes of all time, in all sports. We can absolutely compare him to Michael Jordan in my sport. I have a lot of respect for him."

From the mouth of a four-time NBA champion, a player who has been around the legend Jordan, this analysis resonates as the ultimate validation of the Serb's iconic status.

Equating Djokovic to Michael Jordan is not an ordinary comparison. It is a recognition of the level of demand, longevity, and cultural impact that only the greatest transcend.

Comparing Novak Djokovic to Michael Jordan opens a door to one of the greatest contemporary debates in sports: who is the greatest champion across all sports?

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.
