Of all places, RedBull.com harbors a lengthy, engaging piece with Novak Djokovic that's well worth the read. But are we really to believe that Djokovic, as cosmopolitan and smart as he is, uses the words "ballyhoo" and "pedagogical"? That said, massively interesting interview here by way of Jon Wertheim's weekly Q&A mailbag for Sports Illustrated. In further news of Djokovic's worldliness, he's now reportedly shopping for a new agent, potentially at IMG, to represent him. It'd be a coup for both sides, if it happens.
In the above interview, Djokovic speaks of the six-hour Australian Open final marathon that he took part in against Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard himself hasn't played an organized tennis match since his early Wimbledon ouster, but he picked up a different sort of award recently as the Spanish-language version of <em>Vanity Fair</em> magazine's Personality of the Year.
