Novak Djokovic tries to put issue of Kosovo comments behind him at French Open

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:21:59 GMT

By HOWARD FENDRICH (AP Tennis Writer)PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic sure seemed like someone ready to move on from the latest non-tennis issue he’s been involved in during a Grand Slam tournament. Criticized after his previous match for comments about clashes in northern Kosovo between ethnic Serbs and NATO-led peacekeepers, the 22-time major champion stayed away from political matters on Wednesday night. When his 7-6 (2), 6-0, 6-3 victory over Marton Fucsovics in the second round of the French Open ended, Djokovic, a 36-year-old from Serbia, wrote on the lens of a TV camera — a custom at more and more tennis tournaments — and kept it simple, with an autograph and a smiley face. It was quite different from what happened after his win Monday, when Djokovic drew attention for writing in Serbian, “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence,” and then speaking out about the matter at a news conference with reporters from his home country.That drew ...

Attitude at altitude: Heat coach Erik Spoelstra couldn’t care less about the 5,280 feet between Miami and Denver

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:21:59 GMT

Erik Spoelstra wanted nothing to do with the altitude conversation Wednesday afternoon.The first question asked of the 15th-year Miami head coach at Ball Arena ahead of the NBA Finals opener Thursday night was about playing on the Front Range with much shorter rest than an acclimated Denver team.He put zero stock into 5,280 feet.“If Denver wants to tip this thing off at the top of Everest, we’ll do that,” Spoelstra, the two-time NBA champion, said. “This thing is going to be decided between the four lines. They’ve also got to come back to Miami. If you want to make it about that, we’ll turn off the air conditioning and they’ve got to play in 90-degree humidity, sap the (crap) out of their legs.“This thing is going to be decided between those four lines, and we’ll decide it then.”Heat guard Duncan Robinson echoed his head coach’s sentiment.“I mean, we’ve played here before, so it’s not some folklore that no one has seen before,” he said. “A l...

Green watched a whole lot of Eastern Conference Finals basketball over the past week-plus.“I told my wife when Boston won Game 6, it almost felt like – we’d been sitting so long, it almost felt like we weren’t in the playoffs anymore because the only thing we were doing was watching them,” Green said on the eve of Denver’s first Finals game. “But I watched two good teams battle and when they won, it was like, ‘now it’s time to refocus.’ ...
