- Jannik Sinner won the Six Kings Slam and $6m, but did not seem that bothered about it all

- Novak Djokovic talked about his future saying: “Longevity is one of my biggest motivations. If you see across all the global sports, LeBron James he is still going strong, he is 40, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady played until he was 40-something years old, it is unbelievable."
