BRISBANE : Novak Djokovic's bid for a 100th ATP Tour title gained momentum on Thursday as the Serb thumped fellow veteran Gael Monfils 6-3 6-3 to reach the Brisbane International quarter-finals.
Novak Djokovic is confident he can still win Grand Slams, starting at the Australian Open, with the Serbian kickstarting his bid for an unprecedented 11th title and record 25th major crown in Brisbane this week. Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, who is gunning for a third Melbourne Park trophy, joins him at the Queensland Tennis Centre from December 29-January 5 in a stellar women's field. The 2025 season gets under way on Friday with the mixed-teams United Cup in Perth and Sydney, headlined by world number two Iga Swiatek in her first tournament since revelations that she served a one-month doping suspension.

BENGALURU : Tennis has been slow to embrace innovation partly due to its success in a golden era dominated by global superstars but the sport must now strive to move with the times, the tournament director of the United Cup said on Thursday.
The ATP distributed $1.3 million to 26 players as part of its on-trial financial security programme in 2024 and will step up its commitment by boosting minimum wage figures for next year, the governing body of men's tennis said.
Novak Djokovic will begin his 2025 season and bid for an 11th Australian Open title at the Brisbane International, it was announced Wednesday, with the Serbian superstar now coached by Andy Murray. The 37-year-old is targeting a record 25th Grand Slam crown after failing to add to the total during a frustrating 2024, although he did win Olympic singles gold in Paris. The ATP-WTA event runs December 29-January 5, with the Australian Open to begin on January 12.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's rivalry started in the sweltering heat of Miami and ended almost two decades later in tears and hand-holding in an emotional London farewell. In between, the great friends met 40 times, battling out epics on European clay, London grass and hard courts from the United States to Australia. "What a career, Rafa! I always hoped this day would never come," said 20-time Grand Slam winner Federer in a post on social media after news of Nadal's retirement broke.
Rafael Nadal's rivalry with Roger Federer will forever be remembered for a series of classic clashes, but his head-to-head record against Novak Djokovic featured more matches and was more closely fought. A record-breaking 60 meetings saw Djokovic come out on top 31 times, although Nadal won 11 of 18 Grand Slam matches. In the Open era, no men met more often on the ATP Tour, with Djokovic and Federer having played 50 times. "My greatest rival is Novak Djokovic," Nadal told Globo Esporte in a 2022 interview.
