  1. I like Novak. Out of the Big-3 I probably like him the most. That said, it's been 22 months now since he won the U.S. Open in 2023. I just don't see him winning another major. I would not be upset if I were completely wrong but, he is 38-years old. I think time to exit stage left. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jul/11/reality-is-im-getting-too-old-to-win-grand-slams-admits-beaten-djokovic Sinner dismantles ailing Djokovic to set up Wimbledon final against Alcaraz Novak Djokovic said he must accept the reality that his ageing body continues to make it extremely difficult for him to win another grand slam title after struggling physically in his emphatic defeat by the world No 1, Jannik Sinner, in the semi-finals of Wimbledon on Friday. A month after suffering a straight sets defeat by Sinner in the semi-finals of the French Open, Djokovic was subjected to an even more one-sided 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 defeat by an imperious Sinner. The 38-year-old moved sluggishly throughout and he took a medical timeout after losing the second set. “I don’t think it’s bad fortune,” said Djokovic. “It’s just age, the wear and tear of the body. As much as I’m taking care of it, the reality hits me right now, last year and a half, like never before, to be honest. Novak Djokovic, who suffered a nasty fall in his quarter-final win, took a medical timeout after losing the second set against Jannik Sinner. Photograph: Tom Jenkins/The Guardian “It’s tough for me to accept that because I feel like when I’m fresh, when I’m fit, I can still play really good tennis. I’ve proven that this year. But playing best of five, particularly this year, has been a real struggle for me physically. The longer the tournament goes, the worse the condition gets. I reached the semis of every slam this year, but I have to play Sinner or [Carlos] Alcaraz. These guys are fit, young, sharp. I feel like I’m going into the match with the tank half empty. It’s just not possible to win a match like that. “It is what it is, you know? It’s one of these things I accept and embrace in some way, deal with the reality the way it is, and try to make the most out of it, I guess.”
  2. The run is over for Novak. He should just retire. Go out as one of the greatest. Don't keep abusing his body.
  3. WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis, 30, was arrested on Friday morning in Miami Beach on a battery charge stemming from an alleged domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend of four years. According to WPLG Local 10, Davis' arrest comes nearly a month after he allegedly assaulted the mother of two of his three children on Father's Day outside of her home in Doral. Talk show host Andy Slater was the first to report the incident and stated that Davis was "accused of hitting his ex-girlfriend on the back of the head and slapping her." He was taken into custody in Miami Beach before being transported by the Doral Police Department. According to Miami-Dade county's inmate report, Davis is currently being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with his bond "to be set." The star boxer has had numerous run-ins with the law over the years that included domestic violence and multiple traffic offenses. His last run-in came in Dec. 2022 when he was arrested for allegedly striking a woman with a "closed hand type slap." The charges were later dropped. Davis reportedly had been linked to a rematch with Lamont Roach Jr. in August after the two battled to a controversial majority draw in March. However, Premier Boxing Champions has yet to formally announce the fight. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/45717587/boxing-star-gervonta-davis-arrested-miami-battery-charge
