MELBOURNE, Australia — The Latest from the Australian Open on Friday (all times local):
9:45 p.m.
Rod Laver wants some company in the Grand Slam group, and thinks it could be Novak Djokovic.
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal each had seasons when they won three of the four major titles, but couldn't complete the calendar-year Grand Slam. Djokovic's only loss in a major last year was in the final of the French Open. He's a five-time champion in Australia and has already secured his place in the final, where the pursuit of the season Grand Slam must begin.
