Rick Macci, former coach of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova among others, has evaluated Novak Djokovic's chances of winning another Grand Slam in the future.

In an interview with Tennis365, he stated: "First of all, you should never underestimate the Serbian sniper, the man with the elastic.

In my opinion, the greatest player to ever hold a racket. You should never underestimate his talent.

But I think the only way for him to win a Grand Slam… it won’t happen on clay, it’s just too physical, best-of-five sets, I just think it’s too much for the body.

And if the draw works out favorably—I know it happens to everyone—but let’s be realistic, if Alcaraz or Sinner get injured, or if you get a few walkovers… absolutely.

But if he has to face Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, that changes everything, and it’ll be a pretty tough experience.

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.
