Thanks to the win at Roland Garros in 2021, world number one Novak Djokovic has achieved 19 Grand Slam titles and has come close to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who are in 20th place in this special and extraordinary ranking.
At the moment, both Federer and Nadal seem really far from being favorites at Wimbledon for different reasons, while Nole will have the chance of winning and even the result in terms of Grand Slams on English soil.
To continue his fame, Djokovic has the chance to win the Golden Slam or four Grand Slam titles plus Olympic gold this year, a unique achievement that would crown his eternal glory.
The coach of the Serbian champion, former tennis player Goran Ivanisevic, spoke to the tennis majors’ microphones about Nole’s next goals and what the tennis player fears most on English grass.
Ivanisevic’s words about Djokovic and Federer
Novak Djokovic will play doubles in Mallorca, a choice the coach doesn’t even share too much in view of his statements: “We really shouldn’t be playing in Mallorca, the pitch is really very different from Wimbledon.
We have to be in London at least three days earlier because Nole is the champion and so will play on Monday, we will be in Mallorca for a couple of days but in the end we have to be in Wimbledon where there will also be a very rigid bubble.
Djokovic knows his goals well and I think the Roland Garros title motivated him even more, I think he is the only one who can win the Grand Slam in the same year, I don’t know if it will happen or not, but the only one who can do it is Nole.
Federer’s choice of Roland Garros? He was smart, pulled out of the last 16 and got what he wanted by playing three games and not putting his physical health at risk. Wimbledon is his real goal and to be honest we hope he isn’t on our side of the draw.
It won’t be easy, even if Djokovic is clearly the favorite, then there are Nadal and Tsitsipas, Zverev and Medvedev. Attention also to the very good service players, I am thinking of Opelka, Raonic and Isner, but also Cilic, who won in Stuttgart last week. “Photo credit: Lauren Griffiths / AFP
