If you're British then it has to be Wimbledon in front of home crowd. If not I'd say Garros twice

As a Brit it has to be Wimbledon, would be a national hero!

ATP Finals or the Olympics. Wish it was Davis Cup but Pique did his best to ruin that

Definitely Indian Wells, plenty in tennis call it the fifth Slam

And today we saw Djokovic pull off a miraculous victory-- he beat Zverev in straight sets at the China Open-- with no medical timeouts and looking a lot like the old Novak. If he handily beat a guy who right now may be the number one player in the world, then who's to say he shouldn't keep going? Djokovic obviously should not be counted out.

alexmjordan17d ago

I agree with those who comment that he's still competitive and performing relatively well. However, I think Djokovic won't be satisfied unless he's competing at an elite level & winning another major or 2. So he needs to realistically evaluate if he CAN win 5 set matches against much younger players. Maybe retire now while on top, or give it 1 more year.

I feel Djok should retire. He's had his fame and he will not win anymore Majors. There are so many younger, stronger players who will continue to wear him down. Shelton is like the new Nadal!

daviescallum4223d ago

I think the crowd will pull for Sabalenka today and that’ll make a big difference

taniles1324d ago

Doubtful that he'll get past Zverev if either of them gets there, but he's showing a lot more rally tolerance these days and more mental toughness than he had just a year ago. I'd give him a decent shot if his serve is on. Zverev is the only player left who can match him on serve and rally tolerance.

I believe he can do it and remain in the top 4 in world rankings!! Live rankings ahead of 8 Tiafoe and 10 Fritz!!

4pm starts and then the early morning matches are you friends, like Shelton vs Alcaraz today!

seanfisher26d ago

I also considered it too late but now I’m gutted to have missed that match 😂

matthew.johns26d ago

It’s definitely not ideal for the night matches, but tennis being tennis means that many of the matches have gone so late that they have still been on when I woke up!

matthew.johns26d ago

I predicted Gauff to win the title, so I’m not going to change my verdict now! Think she will beat Andreeva in straights

nashmanly44026d ago

I been watching tennis long time, I'm American don't like any Wta players from U.S now : Want "Andreeva" to win!!!

dan_tagorda26d ago

Gauff… Andrevaa should hire a sports psychologist to help her.

donna.danes30426d ago

Carlos because he is so fast and knows how to play

markmarston26d ago

Alcaraz in three - statement from the Spaniard 👀

bajaj.karan0026d ago

Alcaraz in 4! I figure maybe Shelton can take a set of of alcaraz because of his serving mainly. But this poll is worry some. 11 votes for Shelton in three? and 45 for shelton in 4? Many underestimate carlos even after injury! So many have been proven wrong time and time again when carlos played his matches yet they think this.

psychologyleo27d ago

If you mean grates are included Federer, Nadal or Djocovic, they are belong to last generation, today we have great forehand from Fonseca , Shelton , Jodar and…… but among them Carlos Alcaraz is the best , he is also a humble

ellashaynehopes27d ago

I’d like to hear John McEnroe respond

codzapple227d ago

+yea thats how he broke his arm+

nashmanly4403d ago

No Overrated! Crowd support is better than her tennis! She may when a slam about 4 years shes been lucky on some matches but need more skills practice certain areas there are plenty of young players in Wta can beat players in top 10 besides Alex.

florentinoaman3d ago

Yes,if Alexandra Eala focus back on her dream less the fanfare she was getting..

mcdelfin553d ago

Unless her serve improves dramatically, she will face more grand slam disappointments in 2027. I hope her team realizes that and implement the necessary changes.

kilham.max28d ago

It’s just a bit disappointing to be honest! If you receive a wildcard you should fulfill your obligations!

daviescallum4228d ago

They’re the biggest draw and they know it. This should compel them to help the media out, but weirdly they seem to use their status as a way to get away with doing as they please. A shame

peter.lynch28d ago

They should be treated as every other player right now, yeah, even with what they’ve both achieved

dowland584d ago

brook01029d ago

Blink and you missed it ban! It’s the principle I think, yeah it might not have been performance enhancing but these athletes are supposed to be (you’d hope) good examples for others, so I’d say it should have been longer

jzent76029d ago

I am not sure how long a ban he should receive but he hardly ever plays now anyway so does anybody really care about this over hyped monster of an individual who has serious mental issues he needs to address and needs to learn how to conduct himself towards other professionals and human beings.

bonniewood0329d ago

Eala for my money. Of course I'll be cheering for Jovic, the American, but I think Eala will prevail.

kpchoong30d ago

My bet is on Eala

npcl201430d ago

They should put 4 signs up in Tagalog about cheering. 1st- huwag mag-cheer habang nag lalaro. 2nd- huwag mag-cheer sa double fault. 3rd- mag-ingay pagkatapos ng point. 4th- silencio sa serve.

brook01028d ago

It’s bringing new audiences in which can only be good for the sport. It’s a tale as old as time that no one likes influencers ‘cheapening’ what people follow, music and films are having similar influxes and complaints, but it is what it is. If you’re too precious and protective then you risk putting off new demographics anyway

janegraham29196230d ago

I was blessed to go to Wimbledon men's final this year. I didn't notice anything strange or different I Like Carlos but its like Samphras days. Can't enjoy predictable ganes/Slams

janegraham29196230d ago

Don't care, I've never noticed them Lol...... What do they do, thats so bad?

donaghcorby199730d ago

Arthur Ashe would be great

kilham.max30d ago

Armstrong for me if she’s playing in the same time slots as Sabalenka, Swiatek etc. If not, then Ashe!

v2w8mkzdrz31d ago

The Pride of the Philippines

daviescallum4232d ago

I think she’s got another couple years of fighting for Grand Slams, but agree this is a huge chance

peter.lynch32d ago

Do you think she can do it??

Quickly got back into it after so long out. Form is temporary but class is permanent and despite everything the raw talent always shines through

tom.procter34d ago

So great to see Carlitos back. Some very encouraging signs 🙌🏻

haricvasudevan17d ago

Think he should weigh his physical fitness with caution. Change parts of his game to withstand 5-set pressures. Three set is where he is comfortable today, he’s got enough gas in the tank to last . His joints will get invariable less stronger , not necessarily weaker.

charms20721d ago

I have been a huge Djokovic fan for many many years...I would also love to see him win one more slam but if it's a question of winning one more or staying healthy I'd rather see him retire. The Open def had a different vibe for me without him this year... I will miss watching him play for sure whenever that time comes...

luggmike5830d ago

The only one to make that decision is Nole. I hate to see him struggling physically but as long as he wants to play and can get in to events. PLAY
