Djokovic: 'Children Are Our Everything'

Novak Djokovic has captivated audiences throughout the world for years, including in Miami, where the Serbian has won a record-tying six titles and claimed 30 of his past 31 matches.

Instead, he picked up a ‘bomblet’, a small-sized fragmentation bomb that is packed with hundreds of others into a...

It was a nice exhibition, when Bill Gates and Roger Federer played doubles together at the “Match For Africa 4” in Seattle last April and, with the help of John Isner, helped raise more than $2 million for the Roger Federer Foundation. But you don't win 92 tour-level titles by being complacent. So before Gates and Federer play another exhibition together in March, Federer demanded that Gates stepped up his game – everything about it. The multi-billionaire needed to get stronger, faster, smarter – “Well, maybe not smarter,” Federer said – and better dressed. “You'll train like I do,” Federer told Gates. “Whatever it takes, Roger,” Gates obliged.
