By reaching the 2012 French Open final, he became the ninth player in the Open Era to reach the final of all four Grand Slam singles tournaments and became only the fifth to do so consecutively. Amongst other titles, he won the Tennis Masters Cup in 2008, 2012, and 2013 and was on the Serbian team which won the 2010 Davis Cup.

Djokovic's ATP tournament records include winning 31 consecutive ATP World Tour Masters 1000 series matches, playing in the finals at all nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments (a record shared by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal), and being the only player to win eight.

Angelique Kerber reaches quarterfinals at Pan Pacific Open


Angelique Kerber
Ana Ivanovic stalled Victoria Azarenka's comeback from a foot injury with a 6-3, 6-4 win to make the Pan Pacific Open quarterfinals on Wednesday.

In the match between the former major champions and No. 1s, Azarenka committed seven of her nine double faults in the first set and her serve was easily read by Ivanovic.

Ivanovic prevailed for her first win over Azarenka since 2010, after losing four straight. She lined up seventh-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic, who hit 10 aces in beating wild card Belinda Bencic of Switzerland 3-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Top-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany beat Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 6-4, 6-4. Kerber, who is seeking her fourth career WTA singles title, converted both break points in the second set at Ariake Coliseum.

On Friday, she will play sixth-seeded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia, who ousted Coco Vandeweghe of the United States, 7-6 (5), 7-5, in a match of 15 broken serves.

Roger Federer fires Switzerland into Davis Cup final

World number three Roger Federer helped Switzerland into the Davis Cup final by beating Italy's Fabio Fognini in straight sets in Geneva.
Federer and Stan Wawrinka had won their singles matches on Friday, before Italy won Saturday's doubles encounter.
But Federer's 6-2 6-3 7-6 (7-4) success over the Italian number one meant the Swiss took an unassailable 3-1 lead.
In the final, they will meet France, who clinched their semi-final against the Czech Republic on Saturday.
Italy's Andreas Seppi beat Federer's team-mate Michael Lammer 6-4 1-6 6-4 in the final dead rubber, giving the Swiss a 3-2 victory.
Switzerland have never won the Davis Cup, but were losing finalists in 1992, while France are nine-time winners (most recently in 2001) and seven-time runners-up (most recently in 2010).

Federer won the first two sets with relative ease, and although he needed a tie-break to clinch the third, the partisan home crowd erupted with delight as the 33-year-old carried them to their first final for 22 years.
Appropriately, he was then carried on the shoulders of his delighted team-mates on a lap of honour around the Palexpo arena.
"It's nice sharing the emotions with your fans and team members," he said.
"It was a pretty quick court, so if you're not serving so well there are always going to be errors - it wasn't the best performance for either of us.
"Some of the best match-ups I've had have been against France, but we're very pleased to be in the final."
With France leading 3-0 after the doubles at Roland Garros, the Czechs pulled a point back when Jiri Vesely beat Julien Benneteau 6-4 6-3 in the first match of the reverse singles, which were contested over three sets.
However, Gael Monfils defeated Lukas Rosol 5-7 6-4 7-5 to ensure the French ran out 4-1 winners.
The final takes place in France from 21-23 November.

Switzerland leads Italy 2-1 in Davis Cup semifinal

Roger Federer got the day off on Saturday, and now he needs to play on Sunday to help Switzerland advance to its first Davis Cup final in 22 years.

Without Federer, who was rested, Switzerland lost in doubles to Italy and had its lead cut to 2-1 in their semifinal.

France awaits in the final on Nov. 21-23. It swept two-time defending champion Czech Republic in Paris with a doubles win on Saturday.

The Swiss paired Stan Wawrinka with Marco Chiudinelli, and they lost 7-5, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 against Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli at Palexpo indoor arena.

"Roger suggested that he should not play just because he had a lot of matches this year," Swiss captain Severin Luethi said.

Federer, who played in the U.S. Open semifinals last weekend, won his team's first point on Friday by beating Bolelli in straight sets.

He can clinch victory in the tie against Fognini in Sunday's opening reverse singles.

"He's going to be fresh, and it's an advantage for us," Luethi said.

Switzerland's loss in doubles might have pleased more than 18,000 Sunday ticket-holders who will see their No. 1 play with a finals place on the line.

"It is great for the Swiss fans and I am happy for them," said Wawrinka, who will play Bolelli in a decider if Federer loses.

"The positive thing is we are up 2-1," said Wawrinka, the Australian Open champion. "We are not worried for tomorrow."

Federer's absence did not surprise the Italians, who recalled he also skipped doubles when the teams last met in a 2009 World Group playoff.

"For us, it was still very tough today," Bolelli said. "It's still complicated but anything can happen."

Switzerland has never won the Davis Cup and reached its only final in 1992, losing to a United States team of Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras.

Ross Hutchins retires from tennis

British tennis player Ross Hutchins has today announced his retirement from professional tennis. Speaking about his retirement, Ross said:  "It is with a heavy heart that today I announce my retirement from Professional Tennis. After much deliberation I feel it is the right time for me to stop playing professional sport and pursue new goals as I enter the next phase of my career. I feel strong and healthy and I look forward to moving onto the next chapter of my life. I have been incredibly fortunate in my tennis career and I am proud of what I have been able to achieve, a lot of which would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of those close to me.

"Tennis has enabled me to do something which I love every day, to travel the world and along the way form some incredible friendships. I’d like to thank everyone who has played a role in my career to date and for all the support and encouragement that they have given me, especially my family, my fiancé Lindsay, my friends and my doubles partner Colin Fleming, who I have thoroughly enjoyed playing beside and who has stuck by me through good and tough times. "I would also like to thank the LTA, ITF and ATP who have looked after me all the years that I have been on Tour. Lastly my special thanks to the tennis fans and community who have given me strength on so many occasions and will always have a special place in my heart. It is without doubt that I will miss the competitiveness of the sport but I am excited about the challenges that lie ahead and I shall now take my time to decide on exactly what they will be."
Aegon GB Davis Cup Team Captain Leon Smith commented:  “On behalf of everybody within British tennis, we send our huge congratulations to Ross as he brings the curtain down on his tennis career. Ross has been a stalwart of our sport for over a decade, having won five ATP doubles tournaments and competed in seven Davis Cup ties. He has been an incredible role model in every way possible, from the way he trained to the way he looked after himself in order to reach his potential. "We were very lucky to have him play a huge part in our Davis Cup team over the last six years, and his contribution to help us fight our way back to the World Group was invaluable. Even in the face of adversity following his diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Ross’s amazing dedication and spirit helped to not only raise a staggering amount of money for charity, but also propel him back to professional tennis which itself was an unbelievable achievement. It goes without saying that we wish him all the very best for life beyond the court. No doubt there are very exciting times ahead.” - See more at: http://www.lta.org.uk/News/2014/September/08-09-2014/Ross-Hutchins-retires-from-tennis/
