NO. 1 AMONG 30
The 27-year-old Novak Djokovic was announced this week as one of Forbes's "30 Under 30" in the sports realm. That might sound good for tennis, but four stars of this largely solitary sport appeared on the same list in 2014. It makes sense, though: Serena Williams is over 30, as is Li Na, who retired, and Victoria Azarenka and Rafael Nadal had seasons to largely forget. (Maria Sharapova may be a curious omission, on the other hand.) In unrelated news, Djokovic's titular restaurant in Belgrade, Serbia, was robbed—to the tune of $8,300—this week. The loss occurred overnight while the restaurant was closed in light of his family celebrating January 7's Orthodox Christmas. Djokovic's own home was burglarized in 2011 while he was playing in a stateside tournament.
HOP TO IT, MAN
Andy Murray suffered a sliver of embarrassment at the Hopman Cup team event when Alize Cornet aced him and subsequently raised her arms in celebration. So what could he do, really, besides do the same in return to her and enjoy it similarly?
