Tennis legend Novak Djokovic set for shortened 2025 calendar

The tennis great has skipped several high-profile events in 2024 and that is likely to continue next year as he has made no secret of the fact that he plans to play a reduced schedule during the final few years of his career as he wants to spend more time with his family. "Family life is very important to me. I want to be with my wife and children, to be part of their daily lives, which I haven't been able to do for many years," he stated. Djokovic has admitted that he is "done" with several tournaments, with the ATP Finals appearing to be one of them after he withdrew from the season-ending event at the backend of 2024. "As far as I am concerned, I am done with those tournaments for my career," the 24-time Grand Slam winner stated. He added: "For the first time in my career, I don't have any long-term plans. I live in the moment and I'll see what happens." But those who think he is close to retiring are wide off the mark as the 37-year-old is intent on playing on the biggest events - including the four Grand Slams - from here on in. "I don't know what next year will bring in terms of schedule and everything. I know I still want to keep playing," the Serbian added. "I have to see where I am in my life with my body and everything, but I still have plans to keep going, like these years, prioritising the big events." So which tournaments are likely to feature on his 2025 tennis calendar? Djokovic competed at the United Cup, Australian Open, Indian Wells Open, Monte Carlo Masters, Italian Open, Geneva Open, French Open, Wimbledon, Paris Olympics, US Open, Davis Cup World Group and the Shanghai Masters in 2024, but several of those events are unlikely to feature in 2025. He won only one title in 2024, gold at the Paris Olympics, and finished with a 37-9 win-loss record.

Barbora Krejcikova secures WTA Finals semifinal spot with Coco Gauff victory

This win took Krejcikova's record to 2-1 in group play, sealing her position at the top of the Orange Group standings. "Definitely this is a big win for me," Krejcikova shared post-match. "I'm really pleased with my performance today. It was a really big match!" Her victory over Gauff, who had already advanced by defeating world No. 1 Iga Swiatek earlier in the week, sets Krejcikova up for a semifinal clash with No. 7 seed Zheng Qinwen. Top seed Aryna Sabalenka, who secured the Year-End No. 1 ranking earlier in the tournament, and Gauff will contest the other semifinal match. Swiatek, despite a 2-1 group stage record, was unable to qualify for the semis due to the tournament format. She needed Gauff to beat Krejcikova for her own chance at advancing. Swiatek's hopes faded when Gauff ultimately struggled in crucial moments, sealing Krejcikova's passage to the next stage after an intense 1-hour, 42-minute battle. Krejcikova's journey to the WTA Finals was unexpected. Entering as the lowest-ranked player in the field, she qualified thanks to her stunning Wimbledon title earlier in the year, despite an otherwise inconsistent season. However, her performances in Riyadh have showcased her resilience. After narrowly losing to Swiatek in her first match, Krejcikova bounced back with wins over Jessica Pegula and, finally, Gauff, confirming her place among the final four. Gauff, assured of a semifinal spot after her victories over Pegula and Swiatek, fought hard for ranking points and prize money against Krejcikova. While Gauff started strong, a crucial double fault in the ninth game of the second set allowed Krejcikova to break and serve for the match. Gauff saved multiple match points, but Krejcikova's persistence paid off, securing her the win with a strong serve. Krejcikova now faces Zheng in the semifinals, while Gauff prepares for a showdown with Sabalenka, a rematch of their recent Wuhan semifinal clash.
