Novak Djokovic suffered a third consecutive loss against Botic van de Zandschulp at Indian Wells. This is only the second time since 2008 that this has happened to the Serbian.

Some criticize him for no longer being as hungry for victory and for being more mentally fragile.

Coco Vandeweghe, former world No. 9, shared her opinion on the matter on Tennis Channel: "You have to give credit to Botic, he deserves it.

But I think Novak is becoming too comfortable with losing.

It's a strange feeling for a player to experience a few defeats like these, to see him in the press room, and to wonder if he is not as strong mentally as before."

I never rated Novax when it comes to mental strength, that accolade belongs to Rafa

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.
