Djokovic, 38 years old, still driven by a historic obsession

Novak Djokovic is not ready to leave the stage. Quite the opposite.

At an age where many legends have already hung up their racket, the Serbian champion harbors an almost unreal goal: to add, at 38, a 25th Major to an already monumental career.

A strong choice: Djokovic surrounds himself to push his limits even further

Aware that every detail now counts, Djokovic has made a major strategic decision: to integrate Dr. Mark Kovacs, one of the world's greatest experts in human performance applied to tennis, into his team.

The goal is clear: optimize his body, extend his longevity, and maximize his chances in key moments.

Flavia Pennetta's statement

Former US Open champion and keen observer of the circuit, Flavia Pennetta knows Djokovic well. And her analysis is as follows:

"I think Novak is still convinced that he can beat Sinner and Alcaraz and, consequently, that he can win a 25th Grand Slam.

For my part, I went through an era of crazy players, like Fabio, who had to face Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal.

And paradoxically, it took me time to understand that my peak was coming at the end."

His mentality, his experience, and his understanding of the game could still allow him to shake up the hierarchy. And Alcaraz and Sinner are warned: the king has not yet abdicated.

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.
