In a column for Punto de Break, renowned tennis journalist José Moron paid tribute to Novak Djokovic.

Highlighting his presence alongside Juan Martin Del Potro for the latter's final match, he also spoke of the sometimes harsh media treatment the Serb has received.

Not mincing his words, he declared: "His biggest mistake was wanting to be the best in history. The press called him a villain. Once you've done that, it's hard to remove the label. He worked his way out of it, waiting patiently.

Knowing that, in time, his actions and accomplishments would rise above the words many threw at him. Years, decades, centuries will pass, and always in this story Novak Djokovic's name will appear, etched in letters of gold, while no one will remember the owners of those letters poured spitefully on him."

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

Born almost by accident in an Acapulco garden, padel has in fifty years become a global phenomenon that both fascinates and worries tennis. Its meteoric rise is already reshaping the landscape of racket sports.

From controversial reform to fiery statements, the Davis Cup continues to divide. Between nostalgia for the old formats and unwavering love for the jersey, players share their truths about a competition that, despite everything, still makes hearts race.

I love tennis

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.
