Was this really named after Novak? If so, where can I buy one?
Maybe a massage on Stan's ankle would have be a better idea. The number one seed at the Moselle Open in Metz, France twisted his ankle in the third set when playing against Germany's Dustin Brown. The Swiss went on to win the match but ultimately had to pull out of his quarter-final match versus Philipp Kohlschreiber.
I'll admit, I was happy to see Dinara Safina today when Mariya K tweeted this photo of her, Tomas Berdych and Milos Raonic in St. Petersburg. Despite being the number one seed, Berdych went out in the first round versus Simone Bolelli. Milos, the number two seed, blazed into the semi-final yesterday when he beat Tommy Robredo, 6-1, 6-2. He will play today for a spot in the final against Roberto Bautista Agut.
These lovebirds have been together for 10 years! Novak Djokovic and Jelena Ristic have been dating since they were only 19 years old. They got married in July 2014 and welcomed a baby boy named Stefan in October of the same year.
I think both Andy and Jamie get their ferocity from their mother, Judy. The Brits are into the Davis Cup final for the first time since 1978! Job well done, boys. Andy Murray sealed they deal when he beat Australia's Bernard Tomic 7-5 6-3 6-2 on Sunday night. Great Britain will face Belgium in November's final.

Strange Story of the Week
The strange story of the week was of a young man who woke up from an 11-year coma to find out that his favorite tennis star, Roger Federer, was still playing at the top of his game. In 2004, Jesus Aparicio was celebrating his 18th birthday when he got into a serious car crash that put him into a coma. Now, fast-forward to August 27 2015 and Jesus finally wakes up.
‘It came like a flash to my mind and I asked about Roger. I thought he had retired. When I heard that he reached 17 slam titles, I put my hands on my face.’
Before Jesus’ car crash in late 2004, Roger had won only 4 of his 17 grand slam titles. Jesus even also got to watch his favorite player duel it out with Novak Djokovic during the US Open final.
‘I want to see his match before he reties, perhaps his 18th slam.’
