Federer was undone by the French Open in 2004, 2006 and 2007 while Nadal’s failure to win the 2010 Australian Open was a blip in a year when he romped to victory in Paris, London and New York. Having finally rid himself of his French Open curse, Novak Djokovic is chasing a third successive Wimbledon title to move one step closer to the first calendar Grand Slam in 47 years. Serbia’s Novak Djokovic practises at the All England Lawn Tennis Club on Saturday.Since she walked off Wimbledon’s Centre Court cradling the Venus Rosewater Dish awarded to the women’s champion nearly 12 months ago, Williams has found herself engaged in a losing battle with the history books.With Maria Sharapova absent as she appeals against a two-year ban for doping, the main challengers for Serena’s crown should be second ranked Muguruza, former Wimbl-edon finalist Agnieszka Radwanska and two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova.Djokovic currently holds all four majors and is targeting becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to complete the calendar Grand Slam, a feat only achieved three times in the sport’s history.His victory over Andy Murray in Paris gave him a 12th major, taking him to within two of Rafael Nadal’s mark and five behind the record 17 of Roger Federer.Murray, just a week older than Djokovic, will be looking for his third major after the 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon trophies.He is the first man since Jim Courier in 1992 to win the Australian and French Opens back-to-back.The 29-year-old world number one, champion at Wimbledon in 2011, 2014 and 2015, has become the unstoppable Slam machine.In between practice and this week’s rain, he posed for ‘selfies’ on the London underground, happily opting for public transport despite becoming the first man to pass the $100 million prize money mark at Roland Garros.. 2 Murray, the 2013 Wimbledon champion, remains Djokovic’s only serious rival but the British star has a 10-24 career record against the Serb.Even Federer and Nadal failed to achieve that sequence just as the two greats were also unsuccessful in attempts at a calendar sweep. “I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I really think everything is achievable in life,” Offset Double Ring Ratchet Spanner said Djokovic, who appears to be under little pressure heading into Wimbledon where he starts Monday against Britain’s world number 177, James Ward.

McCain said the lack of additional US patrols last year was "disappointing yet hardly surprising. He said the United States would continue to "fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows.He said US officials did not notify any of the countries prior to the transit patrol.Washington argues that islands China has built up in the South China Sea are not entitled to a territorial limit under international law as they used to be underwater at high tide. Such passage can only take place in waters belonging to another country.Carter said the patrol was not meant to challenge any claims of sovereignty, but to challenge attempts by the countries involved to restrict navigation rights and to require prior notification of transits.China argues that the islands would be used mainly for civilian use, such as coast guard activity and fishing research.""We again call for all claimants to halt land reclamation and further development of new facilities and militarization on their outposts and instead focus on reaching agreement on acceptable behavior in disputed areas," he told reporters.US Defense Secretary Ash Carter told McCain in a letter dated December 21 that the Navy conducted a previous patrol in October to be "lawful under all possible scenarios" given ambiguities about whether certain islands in the region are entitled to a territorial sea."Analysts say China's increasing military presence in the disputed sea could ultimately lead to a Beijing-controlled air defence zone, ratcheting up tensions with other claimants and the United States."The question is do we want to escalate the situation and ratchet it up " said the official."

Washington: The chairman of the influential US Senate Armed Services Committee on Monday criticised the Obama administration for delaying further "freedom of navigation" patrols within 12 nautical miles of islands built by China in the South China Sea..Senator John McCain said in a statement that the lack of US action was allowing China to continue to "pursue its territorial ambitions" in the region, most recently by landing a plane on a man-made island in the Spratly Islands archipelago on Saturday.
