Jayson Tatum Jersey . - Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie never doubted he would bring back coach Dennis Allen for a third year despite back-to-back 4-12 records.Novak Djokovic says he would not regard it as a surprise if he wins his battle with Andy Murray and returns to the top of the world rankings just two weeks after surrendering his No 1 status. Djokovics 122-week reign as No 1 was ended by Murrays success at the Paris Masters, but the race to secure first place in the year-end rankings is set for a dramatic conclusion at the ATP World Tour Finals, live on Sky Sports.

Thats obviously something that you wish for as a player, to have everything in your hands, not to depend on other players, added Djokovic.In this particular case, Im glad that its like that. Everything has been going in a positive direction. Djokovic says players should be given warnings before they are given time violations by umpires Ive been playing better and better as I proceed in the tournament. I have now a day of rest.Its the last couple matches of the year, hopefully.
