Announced as a no-show at the forthcoming Paris-Bercy Masters 1000, Novak Djokovic now prefers to focus on his physical condition rather than on tournament after tournament.

A decision that has not yet been communicated to tournament director Cédric Pioline, interviewed by Eurosport: "We're in the process of finding out about his withdrawal. If he decides not to play, we'd be sad because he's the defending champion and a great champion. It's the player's choice, but it would be sad for the show and the fans."

However, he was keen to qualify his comments, understanding that the Serb is no longer in the same frame of mind as in previous seasons: "If I'm not mistaken, he's 37. He's reaching a stage in his career where he's managing his schedule according to the demands of his body."

4e, 4830 points

Where was the remorse when they were keeping Novak out of tournaments because he refused the jab while thousands sat in the stands unmasked and didnt have to prove they took the jab?
Why is this more sad?

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.
