Je me fous des records.
Félix a joué l’un des meilleurs matchs de sa vie.
5h15.
Et toujours ce 0 faute là où l’ouverture vers la légende se fait.
Et qui gagne ?
Djokovic.
On est dans l’au-delà du compréhensible.
Je suis Novak.
Le tennis est Novak.
Mais qui sera Sinner ?
If there was still any doubt of who is the GOAT, today the debate is over.
Unreal what @DjokerNole is doing, no matter what the outcome of the 5th set is. BRAVO.
🗣 "I find it a little bit disrespectful!"
Novak Djokovic took issue with a reporter's question about him "chasing" Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. 🤷♂️
🎙️ "Au début, vous couriez après Federer et Nadal… et maintenant, après Sinner et Alcaraz ?"
🇷🇸 "Toujours l'outsider derrière ? Entre-temps, j’ai gagné 24 Grands Chelems. C’est un peu irrespectueux d’ignorer ce qui s’est passé entre-temps"

Novak Djokovic on Jannik Sinner:
"That cloud will follow him . . . The way the whole case was handled had so many red flags. The lack of transparency, the inconsistency, the ban coming between the slams was very odd and I didn’t like how it was handled.”

Mirra Andreeva thanks herself after winning Dubai title
“Last but not least, I’d like to thank me. 😂 I just want to thank me for always believing in me.”
Absolutely iconic.
The only thing people seem to agree on is that the anti-doping system is broken and it has been for a very long time.
It was unfair to Simona Halep who received a 4-year ban, which was reduced to 9 months (contaminated supplement, bore no significant fault or negligence, CAS ruled her anti-doping violations were unintentional)
It was unfair to Beatriz Haddad Maia who served a 10-month suspension (cross-contamination from food supplement, which she took as a part of a medical prescription, ITIA said she bore no significant fault or negligence)
It was unfair to Tara Moore (contaminated meat, she was cleared in 2023 when an independent tribunal found that she bore no fault or negligence, but ITIA appealed against that decision, so she is now slated for a new hearing in March)
Jannik Sinner’s positive tests were a result of transdermal contamination (Both ITIA and WADA accepted that he did not intentionally dope, WADA appealed, WADA reaches a case resolution & says he bore some responsibility for his entourages negligence)
The system has been unfair to many athletes. That is blatantly obvious.
But ask yourself this… would it have been ‘fair’ if Jannik Sinner were treated in the same manner?
That would have been the prolonging of a broken system. Nothing will ever change if we keep demanding that innocent players are held to drastically disproportionate punishments.
Simona’s name was dragged through the mud by many who follow the sport. She was banned from playing the sport she loves and couldn’t even have her case heard or decided in a timely manner.
Does that mean we should do the same to every player in the name of ‘fairness’?
Every case is different. But the one thing the players mentioned above all have in common is that they are INNOCENT.
The system’s #1 priority should be to catch dopers.
These players are not dopers and never were. So why treat them unfairly? Why continue to treat innocent players unfairly?
The system does need to be more consistent. Every player should have access to resources to defend themselves.
But we will never get there if we ask that every innocent player is treated just as unfairly as the last.
Hady Habib: I walked by Ons & she congratulated me & I was extremely happy to see a fellow Arab player acknowledging my win, it means the world. Esp what she’s done for Tunisian & Arab tennis. Also seeing Aziz do well. I really hope he gets the win as well
