Novak Djokovic is still in great shape at 36. The Serb proved it in the final of the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati where he triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz. Exceptional results which can be explained by very good management on the part of Djoker. The latter carefully chooses these tournaments. This is a very good thing according to the former coach of Federer, Severin Lüthi, because at his age the slightest mistake could have serious consequences.
This Monday, theUS Open officially started. For the Grand Slam American, the favorites are obviously Carlos Alcaraz, as well as Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard will enter the competition on Wednesday, while the Serb has already played his first round. The latter won in three sets against the French Alexandre Muller. A relatively quiet entry therefore for the current world number two.
“He knows he can no longer dance on all fronts”
At 36, Novak Djokovic always seems to be in impeccable physical condition. The Serb, for example, stood up to Carlos Alcaraz during the Masters 1000 of Cincinnati, for 3:50, while the Spaniard is 16 years younger than him. According to Severin Luthiformer coach of Roger Federerle secret du Djoker comes from very good career planning. A very important parameter, because the slightest mistake can have serious consequences, as asserted Luthi for Blick. “He knows he can no longer dance on all fronts. If one makes major mistakes at this age, it can have serious consequences. Djokovic also begins to walk on eggshells. The way Djokovic plans his career at his age is excellent. In addition, he has the gift, like Roger in the past, of not having to play a lot of preparation tournaments: He is simply on top right away. When you’ve been there for so long, you also have to think about what still gives pleasure. It is therefore possible that you skip one more tournament. »
