Novak Djokovic 2021
Novak’s mental strength is second to none and he showed himself very recently at the 2021 Australian Open. There, the Serbian suffered a third-round injury and many thought he would not continue.
However, he found the motivation to play and ended up winning his ninth title in Melbourne. This was one of Novak’s best victories and allowed him to retain the number one ranking.
It was important to do so as he recently completed his 311st week at the top to break Roger Federer’s all-time record. Now, the Serbian is looking to break many more records. One of Djokovic’s biggest goals is the Grand Slam record and he’s only 2 Majors away from equaling it.
It will be very tough as his rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer also look to put up with it. However, considering his form in recent years, Novak is most likely the one to do it.
