@ndtv @cheerica Warne did hold 3% stake, but exited before his death. Unfortunately, there is no active, surviving equity holding today. His kids also seem to have refuted such a holding in his estate.

There are moments in sport when the scoreboard becomes irrelevant, when what unfolds in front of us feels less like competition and more like history. Under the lights of Rod Laver Arena tonight, Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole stood across the net from time itself—and refused to step aside.

He didn’t win the historic 11th Australian Open title. And yet, what Novak produced felt even more improbable than just another record. At the age of 38, he played on equal terms with Carlos Alcaraz @carlosalcaraz, the best player in the world today—a player who was just ONE year old when Novak played his first Australian Open.

Let that sink in.

This wasn’t a symbolic appearance or a nostalgic echo of former greatness. This was Novak Djokovic competing, suffering, adapting, and believing at the highest possible level—against youth, speed, and the new era embodied in Alcaraz. Nobody in tennis has ever managed anything remotely close to this. Not across eras. Not across generations. Not with this level of relevance.

What we saw in Australia was courage in its purest form. The courage to step onto the biggest stage knowing that time, physics, and history are stacked against you—and conquering it anyway.

Novak’s greatness has never been only about his innumerable titles—it is about his character. About standing alone. About enduring doubt, pressure, and expectation, and still showing up with the same fire.

That is why he belongs in the company of figures larger than sport itself. Like Muhammad Ali, he carried conviction and fought battles far beyond the scoreboard. And he will continue doing so.

Novak Djokovic didn’t lose in Melbourne tonight. He showed us what timeless greatness looks like.

It is truly a blessing to live in an era where we can witness greatness in sport from anywhere in the world. That was not always the case earlier in my life, and it makes moments like I just witnessed even more meaningful.

Watching Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the Australian Open just now was a powerful reminder of why he stands as the greatest tennis player the game has ever known. He is now pursuing his 25th major championship, an achievement that speaks not only to talent, but to discipline, resilience and an unwavering commitment to excellence. I only wish everyone could view such performances with both appreciation and understanding, recognising greatness with fairness and respect.

The Australian crowds were magnificent just as they always were for me, and Novak’s pursuit of what would be his 11th Australian Open title carries special significance. History shows that the very greatest champions often face adversity late in their careers, yet it is precisely this adversity that defines them.

Across all sports, true superstars share one defining trait: longevity. We have seen it time and again with Jack Nicklaus winning the Masters at 46, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan after this car accient, Tom Brady, Muhammad Ali, Michael Phelps, LeBron James and others. These athletes return to the summit not by chance, but because they possess something rare. Longevity, in my view, is one of the most underrated attributes in sport. Just as a great engine allows a BMW to endure, a great inner drive allows champions to last.

I was deeply moved watching Novak. His journey began under extraordinary hardship, growing up amid conflict surrounding his childhood. To rise from that environment to this level of global excellence is nothing short of remarkable. What he has achieved is admirable beyond words.

Novak now faces a monumental challenge in the final, but his legacy is already secure. Across all sports and all generations, only a handful of athletes possess what can only be described as “it.” That quality cannot be defined, measured or explained, but you know it when you see it.

Novak Djokovic has IT. GP

"I have never seen anyone bat like that - At 6 for 2, batting that way, ending the powerplay around 70 - I think it was incredible".
