Recent tracking polls showed Clinton having a 2 to 10 percentage point lead over Sanders in California, the last major primary. Democratic rivals  Hillary Clinton  and  Bernie Sanders campaigned across California, stopping in immigrant communities, big cities and the agricultural heartland on the final weekend before Tuesday's primary in the nation's biggest state.

As is generally the case, Djokovic is in freakishly good form heading into the final, hav
