After years of Anna Wintour watching Grigor Dimitrov play tennis, the Bulgarian entered his friend’s element on Monday evening. Wintour and Dimitrov, along with his girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, attended The Fashion Awards at Royal Albert Hall in London.

Fashion has always been a passion of Dimitrov’s, and he’s long had incredible respect for Wintour, who has been the editor-in-chief at Vogue since 1988. Wintour helped put Dimitrov in the October 2014 issue of the fashion magazine. She’s also supported him at the US Open every year since.

Dimitrov returned to off-season training on Tuesday. He’s in Monaco and then will spend two weeks in Miami with a number of other ATP World Tour players before heading to Brisbane at the end of the year. Dimitrov finished this season No. 17 in the Emirates ATP Rankings.

Novak Djokovic will try to re-claim No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings next season without the assistance of coach Boris Becker. The two will no longer work together, Djokovic announced on Tuesday.

“After three very successful years, Boris Becker and I have jointly decided to end our cooperation. The goals we set when we started working together have been completely fulfilled, and I want to thank him for the cooperation, teamwork, dedication and commitment,” Djokovic wrote. “On the other hand, my professional plans are now directed primarily to maintain a good level of play, and also to make a good schedule and new goals for the next season. In this regard I will make all future decisions.”

Becker, a former World No. 1 and 49-time titlist, joined Djokovic’s team three years ago and, with coach Marian Vajda, helped the Serbian to one of the best stretches in tennis history. During the past three years, Djokovic won 25 titles, including 14 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, two Barclays ATP World Tour Finals titles and six Grand Slam crowns.

Djokovic completed his career-long goal of winning Roland Garros this season, his 12^th Grand Slam title. In doing so, he became the third man in history to hold all four major titles at the same time (Don Budge, 1938; Rod Laver, 1962, 1969) and the eighth man to complete the career Grand Slam. Djokovic also claimed his record 30^th Masters 1000 title in July with victory over Kei Nishikori at the Rogers Cup.

Viktor Troicki wed his girlfriend Aleksandra Djordjevic last week in Belgrade, with Novak Djokovic and wife Jelena, Janko Tipsarevic and Nenad Zimonjic among those in attendance.

Troicki and Djordjevic, wearing a dress made by Tipsarevic’s wife Biljana, exchanged their vows on 27 November in an Orthodox wedding at the St. Aleksandar Nevski Church and continued the celebration with a reception at the Crowne Plaza Belgrade. Serbians Dusan Lajovic, Filip Krajinovic, Dusan Vemic and national team coach Bogdan Obradovic also took part in the festivities.

The 30-year-old Troicki enjoyed another strong season in 2016, finishing inside the Top 30 of the Emirates ATP Rankings. He will begin his 2017 campaign in Australia, and is the two-time defending champion at the Apia International Sydney. 

2. Andy Murray d. Kei Nishikori 6-7(9), 6-4, 6-4/RR/Barclays ATP World Tour Finals

Novak Djokovic was the final obstacle Andy Murray faced during his historic run to year-end No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. But looking back on it, Kei Nishikori might have been Murray’s trickiest opponent during the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

Coming into their round-robin match, Murray had been on a roll. He’d won 20 consecutive matches, including back-to-back-to-back-to-back titles in Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna and Paris. But before Murray stopped losing this season, Nishikori had been one of the few players who had figured out how to beat him during the second half of the season. And he upset Murray on one of tennis’ biggest stages: US Open quarter-finals, Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The theatrics set, the players delivered at The O2. They fought for 85 minutes in the opening set, exchanging hot shot after hot shot, especially during the 20-point tie-break. Murray saved four set points, Nishikori, three. But the Japanese would finally win the opener to make it three consecutive sets against Murray.

The Scot would answer, though. He took the second set in 53 minutes, breaking Nishikori at 4-4 before serving out the set. But when it came time to serve for the match, Murray faltered at 5-2. He’d make it up it at 5-4, though, and remain unbeaten in round-robin play. Nishikori had the level to beat the World No. 1 but couldn’t sustain it.

“It never feels good after losing the match,” said Nishikori. “I know it was close. I mean, I’m definitely disappointed… I think it was great match, both of us.”

1. Andy Murray d. Milos Raonic 5-7, 7-6(5), 7-6(9)/SF/Barclays ATP World Tour Finals

More hardly could have been on the line when Andy Murray and Milos Raonic met during the semi-finals of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

Murray, the newly-annointed World No. 1, was trying to extend his 22-match win streak, reach his first final at The O2 and complete only one of the hardest tasks in tennis: Finish No. 1 in the year-end Emirates ATP Rankings.

Only sixteen men since 1973 had ended the calendar year on top before this season, and the Scot was just two wins away from joining that elite club when he faced Raonic. The pressure was on, too, as World No. 2 Novak Djokovic had also reached the last four in London. Beat Raonic, and Murray still controlled his fate, but lose, and the top spot was Djokovic’s to take.

Raonic had already faced the Serbian in London, falling in a tight 7-6(6), 7-6(5) round-robin match. Against Murray, the Canadian was hoping to win those few crucial points and assure himself a career-best year-end No. 3 in the Emirates ATP Rankings.

He had already come oh so close to beating Murray in 2016. Raonic was up two sets to one in the semi-finals of the Australian Open. At The Queen’s Club final, he led by a set and a break. But both times, Murray turned back Raonic’s power tennis.

At The O2, Raonic was again the early starter, taking the opener 7-5. He broke early in the second set to get within four consecutive holds of his first London final. But Murray came back and the two were tied at 4-all in the third set.

What ensued next was the most unpredictable stretch of the tournament: Four consecutive service breaks. First Raonic couldn’t hold to get to 5-4, then Murray couldn’t hold to win the match. Then it was the Canadian’s turn again, dropping his serve at 5-all. Then Murray, incredibly, was broken at 6-5, his second attempt to serve out the match. So they headed to tennis’ most dramatic moment, a tie-break in the final set.

Raonic saved three match points and had his own match point at 9/8 but Murray cut a backhand volley to even the tie-break at 9/9. Two points later, he’d point to his heart in celebration.

On Wednesday in London, Murray and Kei Nishikori had set the record for the longest three-set match in season finale history, three hours, 20 minutes. But four days later, Murray and Raonic had broken the record with their three-hour and 38-minute semi-final.

Murray’s 24-match win streak. His first Barclays ATP World Tour Finals title. His first year-end finish at No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. In the semi-finals against Raonic, they were all a swing away from not happening in 2016.

Coming Wednesday: The best Grand Slam matches of 2016.

Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi continued his support for the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, by spending the day visiting the Children’s Ward. Qureshi has been a frequent guest at the hospital over the years and has been instrumental in fundraising for the hospital’s cancer research and development departments.

“It really does put life into perspective,” said Qureshi. “All it takes is a little bit of time to help brighten the lives of these children.”

“Patients suffering from cancer at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre don’t just need physical and financially supported treatment, they also need psychological support from all of us as they struggle between life and death,” said Naila Khan, director of marketing for Shaukat Khanum. “Aisam has been a great supporter of the cause and ensures he visits us each time he returns to Pakistan. His support means a lot to us.”

Qureshi, who was recently voted Pakistan’s Most Stylish Sportsman, is aware of his responsibility to those less fortunate.

“We (ATP players) have such a wonderful life on the tour,” said Qureshi. “If my status as a professional tennis player can help make a difference for the children and families suffering from this terrible disease, then please use me as much as you want.”
