So... Barclays ATP World Tour Finals starts today:
Djokovic - Thiem
Raonic - Monfils
There are many question marks around these players' form, injuries, motivation, but I still think we can expect good and entertaining matches.
Has anyone heard of Digits7 casino? Over 7 months ago I won $300 and still have not received my winnings! I competed all verifications and met all qualifications for payout. The casino has not...

ReadIt's been over 2 months since I was approved for my winnings and I still haven't been paid bty Cyberbingo.
ReadI didn't want to watch the final at all, but at the end I couldn't resist it.
Even though many has predicted that Djokovic would win, I knew that was not going to happen. Murray looked like a man on a mission, and he was not going to lose the final. That semifinal win over Raonic had only a positive impact, and was a confidence boost. So huge congrats to Murray, he was the most consistent one this year. He really deserved this.
And Djokovic..... he did show some passion for tennis again last week, but then in the final, when it mattered the most, he disappeared - from 3-3 in the first set till 4-1 in the second, totally unrecognizable. But his fight at the end, though too late, I think it shows that he still cares.
I'm sure that he will have to make a decision, either he will go back to tennis or he will take some time off. I don't think that any player of such caliber can just play tennis for fun, with no clear goal. We'll see very soon.
But I also have to add that Djokovic did have a great season, two slams, and during the time where he "didn't play well", he won Toronto, was in the US Open and YE Championships finals.
For me also dissapointed match by Djokovic, like he was another person in finals, of corse Murray is a lot better than Nishikori but , Djokovic showed no pasihon . Next season will be even harder for him to get back on no1 cuz he has a lots of points to defend at the start of the season.

I bet you're right Markotic ;)
Certainly not if you been N1 for the most of the past few years...play for fun...what's that :)
The news from today is that Djokovic broke up with Becker !! I guess it's the start of the alteration for him.
Murray is so confident after regathering the partnership with Lendl which just shows that the most vital events almost ever occurs in your own head.
The good news for Djoko is that...it could hardly become worst...but like an optimist would say ...it could.

Yes, it does sound funny. :) But he said that he was going to just try and enjoy tennis again, and that he won't chase number one spot or titles anymore. That was before Masters in Shanghai. Since then, I've been wondering what his goal is than, to play tennis just for fun? :)

Is that official? I couldn't find it anywhere, only that Djokovic didn't want to confirm Becker as a coach.
Were I Murray, I wouldn't change a thing, as well. :D Everything seems to be working well for him.
Here's an interesting interview with Becker. There's a little bit of mine quoting in the article, but video is interesting. He's perhaps too honest, but surely objective.
Federer and Nadal's absences hurt Djokovic
Both teams changed their doubles, adding their number one players to the line-up. In the end Croatia seemed to have made the right choice as Dodig and Cilic eased past Del Potro and Mayer. Only one more win is needed for Croatia to lift the Davis Cup.
Cilic M. / Dodig I. d. Del Potro J. / Mayer L. 76 76 63
Argentina won their first ever Davis Cup trophy, especially thanks to Juan Martin Del Potro. He pulled off an amazing comeback against Cilic, fought back from two sets down and eventually won after almost five hours of play.
Juan Martin Del Potro d. Marin Cilic 67 26 75 64 63
Federico Delbonis d. Ivo Karlovic 63 64 62
More gossip. :)
Well, latest rumor is that Djokovic got under influence of Maja Volk, and we all know Pepe Imaz from the last few weeks of the season.
I don't want to say anything bad about Volk, she survived cancer, but she's a very aggressive vegan person. And though I have a great respect for what Novak promotes, professional athletes require specific food. Perhaps I am old-school, and Novak will prove me wrong.
I don't think you can be a top professional athlete on a vegan diet, it could work for amateur athletes (in fact I know a few), but a top professional needs a balanced diet.
woo Just saw your post and that was exactly what I've considered in the last weeks Johnny, like those are my thoughts written here.
I wasn't sure about the Djokovic diet even from the day I've heard about it but after that I though it obviously works for him if the guy is world N1 but I think the thing is that it couldn't be so wrong in short term aspect -6monts to a year ,year and a half maybe but in long terms when you're on court almost every day spending hours in immense physical efforts you need every calorie your body has and I don't think whatever super food could give you that.
For sure Djokovic would not be a fat guy even if he eats 5 stakes every day, but in the moment he looks painfully thin and whatever specialists tells us how good is that for court movement you need power and strength not less than stamina.
The other guy I think of right away is Neil Robertson the snooker player, I'm sure you know him, he looks as thin as ever almost like he's sick or something, every since he turn to a vegan his career going down I think and snooker is not even a physiology sport but what about tennis.
It's another theme if there's something in the mind of those two athletes that bothers them and not allowing to be on their best but certainly physically they're not lookiing right at the moment.
