Casper Ruud considers Novak Djokovic to be the second-best clay player of all time, just behind the Roland Garros legend, Rafael Nadal.
The Serbian is one of the best clay tennis players of all time just because he won the Roland Garros in Nadal's era. He also beat the Spaniard at Roland Garros, proving that he can play really well on the surface.
He doesn't really have to have better credentials, because the 14-time French Open winner is the greatest player on clay ever, and it's not even close. He lost only four times in Paris, and two of those losses came to Djokovic.
The Serbian's record at the event even further proves it, as he won it three times in an era when it seemed impossible to do so. One of the best clay players of today, Ruud, agrees with that.

Novak Djokovic sustained a knee injury in his match against Francisco Cerundolo, which forced him to withdraw from the 2024 Roland Garros.
In a brief statement on social media, the Serbian explained his decision. However, even before the official announcement, Djokovic admitted that it was a possibility that he would withdraw from the tournament, which was shocking to hear but not that surprising for all those who actually watched the match.
It was pretty clear that adrenaline carried him to that win. However, the knee was far from fine. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that he withdrew from the tournament, and later, the 37-year-old posted an update on social media explaining why he withdrew.
It's not good news as he has a torn meniscus, which is not a minor injury and generally requires prolonged inactivity for it to heal.
"I am really sad to announce that I have to withdraw from Roland Garros.

Jannik Sinner is guaranteed to become the new men's World No. 1 when the Atp rankings are updated after Roland Garros.
Sinner trailed World No. 1 Novak Djokovic by 1190 points before the tournament began. But because the Serbian was defending the full 2000 points in Paris for winning the tournament last year, he cascaded to second place in the live rankings.
The Italian successfully defended second-round points from last year at the same tournament, and he needed to reach the final of this year's French Open to be absolutely certain of becoming No. 1. But it wasn't the only permutation for Sinner to rise to No. 1.
In a fresh development on Tuesday, Djokovic withdrew from the tournament for what has been reported as a torn medial meniscus on his right knee. This now means that Sinner will surpass the 37-year-old in the points tally regardless of his own progress in the tournament.
Although Sinner controlled his destiny,...

New world no. 1 to-be, Jannik Sinner, proved too much for Grigor Dimitrov, beating him in three sets at the 2024 Roland Garros.
The last time the two shared the tennis court was not that long ago in Miami, where they played in the final of the Atp Masters 1000 tournament. Despite some impressive performances this year, the Bulgarian proved no match for the Italian.
This match started similarly because Sinner once again overwhelmed his opponent. In fairness, Dimitrov looked very flat physically, not moving very well, and generally not looking all too present in the match.
He fell down in his previous match, playing with a grip covered in blood, so there is a chance that he felt fatigued early on in this one. He'd play far better in the second set but still wasn't quite sharp enough to give Sinner too many problems.
The Italian took a break in the first...

Novak Djokovic withdrew from the 2024 Roland Garros prior to his quarter-final match against Casper Ruud.
According to reports on Tuesday, the Serbian canceled his scheduled practice for the day before his quarter-final match against Ruud. He underwent an Mri scan and additional tests on his knee that appeared to limit his movement in his fourth-round win over Francisco Cerundolo.
The World No. 1 played in back-to-back five-setters to reach a record 59th Grand Slam quarterfinal and was growing agitated by the tournament officials over the state of the court on Monday, which he blamed for worsening his injury.
Djokovic clarified in his post-match press conference after beating the 23rd-seeded Argentinian from two sets to one down that he had been carrying a knee injury for weeks, even before the commencement of the French Open.
But he insisted that the injury became increasingly painful in the match against Cerundolo, where he slipped more times than he imagined.

Novak Djokovic could not confirm if he will be able to return to the match court on Wednesday to play in the 2024 Roland Garros quarterfinal because of a knee injury.
Djokovic looked in a spot of bother in Monday's fourth-round dogfight against 23rd-seed Francisco Cerundolo after hurting his knee during the early stages of the match.
He complained about the state of the court to the officials, including the tournament supervisor, multiple times. Djokovic felt that the court was too slippery and that it "screwed his knee" to the extent he could not move as efficiently as he always does.
Because of that, he could not play to his strengths in the second and third sets and, to some extent, in the early part of the fourth. He requested that the trainer have a look at the injury and was given a leg rub multiple times and some painkillers to alleviate the injury.

The countdown to the premiere of Roger Federer's upcoming documentary, 'Twelve Final Days,' has just begun, and a full trailer has now been released.
As the title of the sports documentary suggests, the 100-minute film will chronicle the final 12 days of Federer's professional tennis career, from his emotional retirement message in never-before-seen footage captured on camera to his final match at the Laver Cup.
Prime Video initially announced that it would stream the documentary worldwide on June 20th, and it has now released an official two-minute trailer of the same, in which Federer granted exclusive access to Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia and his camera crew to film the final few moments of his career.
The trailer opens with Federer sitting in his living room and saying he is "feeling stressed" as he preps to read his retirement message from a script, the same one he would share on social media.

If there is one thing that Novak Djokovic doesn't take kindly, it's annoyance because it evokes a reaction from him, as it did in his fourth-round win at Roland Garros.
Djokovic was down and seemingly out, literally and figuratively. He trailed Francisco Cerundolo by two sets to one. Additionally, he was a break down in the fourth set staring at his earliest defeat at the French Open since 2009.
Time and again, tennis fans have learned not to write off Djokovic, but there was a hint of resignation for a moment as the 37-year-old winced in pain after sustaining a mid-match knee injury brought about by what he believed was the refusal of groundsmen not to sweep the court often.
It is usually standard practice for clay-court tournaments like the French Open that courts are swept and the lines brushed after every completed set. At the end of the match, they are watered.

Carlos Alcaraz had previously faced Novak Djokovic in Paris, and the match ended up being quite painful for him.
The Spaniard had won a set against Djokovic and looked well on his way to possibly turning around the whole match when cramps hit. The cramps ultimately proved decisive, as the Serbian was able to win the match.
It offered Alcaraz a chance to see just how difficult it truly is to play against Djokovic in the French capital. He's played him on all surfaces, and he didn't win all of those matches, which means that he's seen the best of the 24-time major winner across the board.
He finds it very difficult to deal with him, which he explained recently at the 2024 Roland Garros, where they may meet again.

Novak Djokovic remained tight-lipped when asked for his opinion regarding the Roland Garros schedule, which led to his late finish to his third-round match against Lorenzo Musetti.
Djokovic's path to the second week of Roland Garros was a long one because he needed five sets to overcome an inspired opponent in Musetti. Their tussle lasted four hours and 26 minutes and finished in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 3 a.m. finish was the latest in a match at Roland Garros since the tournament inaugurated a night session back in 2020. It smashes the record of the previous late-night finish by at least 90 minutes.
Tennis pundits have heavily criticized tournament organizers for the farcical scheduling, with Djokovic's former coach Boris Becker calling it "mad and unprofessional" that a Grand Slam match would run past midnight.
Fellow players have also weighed in on the subject. Coco Gauff stated that it was unhealthy...

Carlos Alcaraz recently suggested that he would consider playing mixed doubles with his future girlfriend in light of Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas almost teaming up at Roland Garros.
Obviously, the big news from tennis' most popular couple is that they did not join forces for their mixed doubles match on Monday as originally planned and withdrew from the tournament.
Predictably, this was bound to happen, considering that Tsitsipas was set to face Alcaraz in a massive quarterfinal match in singles on Tuesday. So, taking to the court for mixed doubles with girlfriend Badosa 24 hours earlier was probably among the least of his priorities.
Tsitsipas was also slated to play doubles with his younger brother Petros on the same day and committed to play. They duly won their second-round match by upsetting defending champions Austin Krajicek and Ivan Dodig.
Playing an additional match on Monday would jeopardize the Greek's energy tank for the singles competition.

Novak Djokovic's late finish at the 2024 Roland Garros opened up a discussion about late tennis matches, and Carlos Alcaraz came out against it.
A few years ago, there was a relatively late night session in Paris, which featured a match that started at 9 p.m. local time. That was not popular among players, and the event changed it to 8:15 p.m., which is the case this year, but in the case of Djokovic, it didn't start at that time.
His match against Lorenzo Musetti started just short of 11 p.m. local time and lasted well over four hours, finishing around 3 a.m. That late finish opened the topic up, as some players were asked about it, including Alcaraz, who is not a fan of late matches.

Novak Djokovic had the perfect start to his 2024 Roland Garros fourth-round match, but things then went south before he engineered an insane comeback win.
The last time the Serbian legend played a tennis match at the Court Philippe-Chatrier was against Lorenzo Musetti in a crazy match that finished at 3 a.m. local time. Djokovic kept a positive spirit after the match, but he was in no way happy about the way it went, especially since he had to play five sets as well.
Many wondered how his next match would go because a match like that had to leave some kind of impact on his body. When he stepped out to face Francisco Cerundolo, the 24-time major winner looked superb.
The first set was a rather swift affair as he won it 6-1. The set lasted 41 minutes, so it wasn't quick, but he dominated, especially in crucial points. In the second set,...

Roger Federer offers a tearful goodbye to a celebrated tennis career in the trailer for Asif Kapadia’s feature sports documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days, which dropped on Monday ahead of a June 10 world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
As the curtain comes down on his 24 years of competitive play in professional tennis, Federer struggles to contain his emotions in what the doc’s producers call a home video never intended for public viewing. “I thought until this morning I had emotions in check, but I can feel it coming up,” a vulnerable Federer says at one point in the feature documentary as his final tournament match approaches.
Federer: Twelve Final Days is directed by Kapadia, who is best known for documentaries like Amy, about the late Amy Winehouse, Senna, about Formula 1 race car driving legend Ayrton Senna, and a film about soccer great Diego Maradona.

Novak Djokovic's record-setting run at the top of the world rankings will extend for a 428th week, but could this be his last?
That's the million-dollar question at the 2024 Roland Garros. The clay-court Grand Slam has reached the second week with Djokovic firmly in it. The top seed will face Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo in the fourth round on Monday.
Djokovic's progress into this stage of the competition was hardly a mean task after battling through the second-longest match of this year's French Open so far in the third round. He defeated Lorenzo Musetti in a four-and-a-half-hour epic that finished at 3 a.m. local time.
The match set the record for the latest finish at Roland Garros, beating the previous record by at least 90 minutes. At one stage, it looked like Djokovic's reign as World No. 1 would come to an end, falling two sets to one down to the inspired Musetti.

Novak Djokovic endured a tough night in Paris, having to play tennis well after midnight, finishing at about 3 a.m. local time.
The rain impacted play in the previous days, forcing the organizer to cram many matches on the two courts with the roof, so Djokovic's match against Lorenzo Musetti was pushed back.
One match was actually inserted before the Serbian's match, which pushed it back all the way to 11 p.m. local time, which is when the match started.
Obviously, Djokovic could have escaped that late finish by winning the match in straight sets, but he needed five sets and over four hours to do so, which is what caused the late finish.
Still, he won't be happy about starting too late, but that's just how things unfolded. Coco Gauff, who also competes at the 2024 Roland Garros, was asked about it, and she explained why it's so difficult to finish late.

Novak Djokovic was penalized for a time violation during his marathon five-set win over Lorenzo Musetti, but he had an interesting conversation with the chair umpire.
The Serbian ultimately won the match, which set the record for the latest finish in Roland Garros history (past 3 a.m. local time). The match lasted a lung-busting four hours and 29 minutes, with Djokovic prevailing 7-5, 6-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-0.
However, an incident that happened towards the end of the match attracted the attention of many onlookers and tennis fans. Djokovic led 4-0 and prepared to serve the opening point of the fifth game of the fifth set.
Chair umpire Adel Nour interjected and issued a time violation to Djokovic. This is an infraction in the tennis rulebook when a player exceeds the time allocated between points or games.

Boris Becker ripped into Roland Garros organizers after Novak Djokovic's historic win in the third round, which finished in the early hours of Sunday morning.
On Saturday, Djokovic's third-round match against Lorenzo Musetti kicked off at least a couple of hours after the initial start time communicated on the order of play.
That is because the tournament worked around the clock to establish a means to complete the suspended matches on the outside courts. So, the two main courts with a roof, Court Philippe-Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen, saw a makeup schedule.
Djokovic, who was scheduled to play on Chatrier, was the main star attraction for the night session commencing at 8:15 pm local time. But because Grigor Dimitrov's match with Zizou Bergs was moved to the main court during the evening, the top seed was made to wait for almost two hours.
The three-time champion took to the court at almost 11 p.

The Serbian star equaled one of the all-time records in tennis history, which was held by Roger Federer. The victory over the Italian on Saturday (but finished Sunday morning) was Djokovic's 369th match win of his Grand Slam career.
Following a slight change in the day's schedule on Court Philippe-Chatrier, the top seed had to wait at least a few hours before he arrived on the match court.
He came within a set of losing and relinquishing the No. 1 ranking but produced a great comeback in the fourth set before running away with the match down the stretch.
The match set the record for the latest finish at Roland Garros, and Djokovic would exit the venue past 3 a.m. on Sunday. The win takes him on level terms with Federer at the four majors.

While Drive to Survive has sped to a successful six seasons on the Netflix platform and been given credit for a surge in interest in motor racing, particular in the US, the same production team has stumbled to a halt with the tennis world, and now The Times of London reports that documentary series Break Point has been cancelled after just two seasons, citing poor ratings and lack of access to the sport’s leading figures.

Rafael Nadal is one of the most famous and successful tennis players in the world as his name is frequently mentioned with other greats like Novak Djokovic and the now-retired Roger Federer. But even though the King of Clay is a public and popular figure, not a ton is known about his life off the court.
Since 2019, Nadal has been married to Maria Francisca “Xisca” Perello. The athlete has been careful over the years of how much information he divulges about his wife because she is a very private person.

Scripted by Matthew Robinson (Love & Monsters), the action-adventure film follows “a ‘man from the future’ (Rockwell) who arrives at a diner in Los Angeles where he must recruit the precise combination of disgruntled patrons to join him on a one-night-six-block quest to save the world from the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence.” With production set to kick off this year in Cape Town, South Africa, expect a 2024 release.

The feature-length doc will chronicle the final 12 days of the career of the man who is deemed by many to be the greatest tennis player of all time.
Amazon said the untitled doc was “originally a home video never intended for public viewing,” which “captures Federer at his most vulnerable and candid self, as he says goodbye to a game and the fans that shaped his life for the last two decades.”
Federer said: “Initially, the idea was to capture the final moments of my professional tennis career so that I could have it later on to show my family and friends”
He added: “During my career, I tended to shy away from having cameras around me and my family, especially during important moments.

Dubbing Platform Camb.ai, which has recently been used for coverage of the 2024 Australian Open tennis tournament as well as by horror feature Three, has raised $4M in a seed funding round.
Led by New York venture capital firm Courtside Ventures, the investor group includes Trtl Ventures, Blue Star Innovation Partners, Ikemori Ventures, and Eisaburo Maeda.
Trtl and Dubai Future District Fund were early investors in the start-up.
Launched in 2022, UAE-based Camb.ai specializes in instantaneously dubbing any performance in over 100 languages, dialects and accents.
The company says it has broken several technological barriers with its Mars Tts and Boli Translator programs, which it adds go beyond simply translating speech to also “capture and convey the speaker’s original tone and nuance”.
The platform also claims to have one of the largest collections of source languages, including languages such as Afrikaans, Malay, and Basque.
“This technology is truly remarkable,” said Vasu Kulkarni,...
