World number one Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest tennis players in the history of tennis and is certainly the most successful. His numbers grow week after week, starting from the record number of weeks at the top of the rankings up to the question of victories with the Serbian who is hungrier than ever.
In short, Djokovic has suffered several important defeats in 2024 and in a few days he will start the Italian Internationals with 0 titles under his belt. The reality is that the Balkan tennis player’s main objectives are still just around the corner, naturally the other Slam tournaments such as Roland Garros and Wimbledon and above all the Paris Olympics, a great objective declared by the number one in the world.
During a recent interview, Goran Ivanisevic himself spoke of an almost obsession with commenting on Djokovic’s goals and the Olympics goal, the only thing missing from his immense palmares. During an interview with La Stampa, former tennis player Ivan Ljubicic, former historic coach of Roger Federer, spoke about the situation in world tennis, starting with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz but without absolutely forgetting Novak Djokovic.
The two know each other very well, Ivan challenged him first as a tennis player and then as a coach and has no intention of underestimating him. Here are his words: “Number one objective for Sinner? Well, we understand how Jannik works.
It is not focused on a single objective but works on constant improvement. Sinner will become number one because he is the strongest but he won’t upset his plans to do so. Competition? The level is always high, winning tournaments is never easy.
There’s Novak Djokovic and woe betide you if you consider him finished. When he’s on the ball, and I’m sure he will be from now on, he really remains a very difficult opponent to beat. Olympics like a Slam? In my opinion, it matters a lot that they are in Paris, it wouldn’t have been the same in Tokyo.
Djokovic is focusing a lot on it because it is the only thing he hasn’t won and it must be said that there are many reasons. I believe they will have the same value as the 2012 Olympics at Wimbledon”, the final comment from the well-known former tennis player.
