January 14, 2011 Battling in Davis Cup, and Then Teaming Up By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY MELBOURNE, Australia — It has been more than six years since Nenad Zimonjic and Michael Llodra played a doubles match on the same side of the net, and yet they should be among the favorites for the title when they rejoin forces at the Australian Open. But that is only if they can move on from events in Belgrade, Serbia, last month, when the ebbs and flows of the Davis Cup final between Serbia and France reduced these big hitters to tears on consecutive days. Llodra made Zimonjic cry first, teaming with Arnaud Clément to beat Zimonjic and Viktor Troicki in a five-set epic and give France a 2-1 lead that Zimonjic feared would be decisive. But when the final ended, Llodra was the one sobbing in his chair with the captain Guy Forget and his teammates gathered around him after he had been overwhelmed by Troicki in the last singles match. “I was definitely sorry for him,” Zimonjic said in Melbourne, where the Open begins Monday.

  • Former World No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic Added to Odlum Brown Vanopen Men’S Draw
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 16, 2015 FORMER WORLD NO. 8 JANKO TIPSAREVIC ADDED TO ODLUM BROWN VANOPEN MEN’S DRAW Vancouver, BC - Organizers of the Odlum Brown VanOpen are pleased to announce former World No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic has been granted a wildcard entry into the main draw of the men’s competition August 15 - 23 at Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver. The 31-year-old from Serbia spent 2014 recovering from a foot injury and is looking to get back to the form which made him a US Open quarterfinalist in 2011 and 2012. He also made it to the fourth round of singles at Wimbledon in 2007 and 2008, the French Open in 2012, and the Australian Open in 2013. “We are really excited to add a player of Janko’s stature to the men’s draw at this year’s tournament,” said Odlum Brown VanOpen Chairman Floyd Hill. “Anytime you can attract a player who’s been among the top 10 in the world and defeated the calibre of players that Janko has, it strengthens the event significantly and gives fans the opportunity to see another world-class player here in Vancouver.” The players that Tipsarevic holds victories over reads like a who’s-who in men’s tennis. He has two career wins against World No. 1 and fellow Serb Novak Djokovic. Tipsarevic has also beaten former World No. 1 players Carlos Moya, Marat Safin, Lleyton Hewitt, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Andy Roddick. In addition, he has thirteen career victories against other top 10 players, including four wins against Tomas Berdych, and one each against Fernando Gonzalez, Mikhail Youzhny, David Ferrer, James Blake, Gael Monfils, Andy Murray, and Juan Monaco.

She kicked off with the tennis team (pictured right) at her home club, the Sociedade Harmonia de Tênis where the chef produced three birthday cakes, which she shared with friends, members and staff, and later, she had lunch with her family (pictured left). “It was a wonderful day that I got to share with all the people who support me,” said Maria Esther. “I really appreciate all the help they give me so this is a very small way to say thank you!” TV Globo’s special on Brazil’s contribution to Formula I and stock car racing, which featured Maria Esther, was aired that night. ‘Linha de Chegada’ (or ‘The Finish Line’) was hosted by Reginaldo Leme who interviewed Maria Esther and stock car racer Max Wilson (pictured right), both of whom have had successful careers and understand the needs of training away from their respective sports in order to be able to perform fully in competition. Max Wilson said: “The physics of tennis is very much part of the sport than in racing. “I'm not a tennis player, but I try to my improve my fitness as a tennis player because motorsport requires more than just driving.

    News Release 11 November 2018 DJOKOVIC PRESENTED YEAR-END ATP WORLD TOUR NO. 1 TROPHY AT 2018 NITTO ATP FINALS LONDON — Novak Djokovic was today presented with the 2018 year-end ATP World Tour No. 1 trophy during an on-court presentation at the Nitto ATP Finals, the season finale at The O2 in London. The Serbian is one of only four players in ATP Rankings history (since 1973) to have clinched the year-end top spot on five (or more) occasions, joining Pete Sampras (six), Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer (both five times). Djokovic, who replaced Spain’s Rafael Nadal at No. 1 on 5 November, has completed a remarkable comeback to top form in 2018, capturing four titles—including two Grand Slams and two ATP World Tour Masters 1000s – from six tour-level finals. Aged 31 and six months, Djokovic is the oldest player to finish year-end No. 1 in ATP Rankings history. Having previously finished at the top in 2011-12, 2014-15, he is the second player — after Nadal (2008, 2010, 2013 and 2017) — with three stints as year-end No. 1. He is also the first player to be ranked outside the Top 20 and finish the same season at No. 1 in the history of the ATP Rankings. Russia’s Marat Safin was as low at No. 38 on 28 February 2000 before becoming No. 1 on 20 November that year, but he did not finish the season at No. 1. When Djokovic fell to No. 22 on 21 May 2018, it was his lowest ranking since he was No.
