Men’s and women’s tennis are not comparable.

Congratulations Djoko! I thought he gave a very good speech afterward too - in French and English and finally Serbian.

Croatia, for a tiny country, has been a powerhouse in the last couple World Cups.

Really, really shameful that he couldn’t play those Slams. It was good that Tennis Australia formally apologized, but to tennis fans, that will always be inadequate.

I hope he can play Indian Wells and the US Open this year.

I agree. But, some sports pundits have declared Serena Williams the greatest tennis player of all time regardless of gender. It’s absurd. But, once Djokovic has the more Grand Slams than she does that claim won’t hold up.

I once stood in line at Croatian airlines and everyone towered over me.
Croatian Air must actually provide legroom in coach. Wish that were trendy.
