This week, Serbian champion Novak Djokovic reached the record 378 weeks at the top of the ATP rankings, becoming the person (male or female) with the most weeks at the top of the rankings, overtaking Germany’s Steffi Graf in the process..
Many have commented on this success and, in recent hours, former German champion Boris Becker has also spoken about it. The tennis legend has been through a lot of ups and downs over the past few months, but he finally pulled through and is starting to talk about tennis again.
Boris Becker released statements regarding Novak Djokovic and his recent record and commented, “Novak Djokovic broke the all-time record in a few weeks and that’s amazing.
I think Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are real cultural icons. We are talking about athletes who could very well lead their country, they have an incredible number of followers.” Then a eulogy to one of the tennis players of the moment, former number one Andy Murray: “I would define Murray by one word, that of incredible“.
Boris on Nole.
On Murray and Djokovic, Becker also added: “I didn’t expect to see him so competitive, especially after his hip surgery.
I’ve seen how he runs and fights and I have to say what the Brit does is legendary.” Also read: https://www.tennisworldfr.com/tennis/news/Atp/18927/boris-becker-andy -murray-is-simply-amazing-he-will-be-dangerous-at-wimbledon/ “As for Novak No one expected to see him number one for 378 weeks.
As a German, I would have liked this record to still be in the hands of Steffi Graf, but I am also a close friend of Nole and therefore it does not make me unhappy.” “Novak is a fantastic man and a great champion.
Records are made to be broken, but this will be one of the longest in history. And the good thing is that the week counter keeps ticking and there are still plenty left.” Many have spoken of Nole’s possibility of winning the Golden Slam this year, but the German’s judgment seems different at the moment: “I personally don’t think Novak is thinking about the Golden Slam right now.he wants to lift the 23rd Slam of his career and it would already be a great record.
Now there is anticipation for Roland Garros although I consider Rafael Nadal to remain the favourite, with Nole not far behind. I’m curious to see what these two great champions will offer us once again.”
