Roger Federer, the tennis legend, has only good wishes for his two great rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic ahead of the 2024 tennis season. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, who together formed the “Big Three” in tennis, have dominated the sports world for over two decades.
Nadal’s comeback and Djokovic’s continued dominance
While Federer retired last year, Nadal missed almost the entire 2023 season due to a hip injury. Djokovic, on the other hand, dominated the year by winning three of the four Grand Slams, taking him to a record-extending 24 majors.
He also ended the year as world number 1 and passed the 400-week mark at the top of the ATP rankings. Attention now turns to the next campaign, which will see Nadal make his long-awaited comeback in January.
The 2024 season is expected to be Nadal’s final year as a professional tennis player, which will undoubtedly be a blow to the sport of tennis as a whole. Djokovic, on the other hand, will try to stay at the top of the game.
The Serbian tennis star has made it clear that he does not want to retire yet, a decision that Federer welcomes. In a recent sponsorship interview, Federer was asked about his two biggest rivals and replied: “I was really happy and grateful to have played against each of them almost 40 to 50 times, so I have a lot of memories of a lot of great matches, fights.
I have answered questions about her so many times and I can only say the best things about her. It was great to share so many years with them on the pitch. I hope that Rafa can come back very strong next year and that Novak can play as long as he wants because it’s good for the game to have these guys still in the game.” Nadal, who hasn’t played since January 2023 , will make his comeback at the Brisbane International, starting March 31st.
December to January 7th takes place. Djokovic will begin his 2024 campaign by representing Serbia at the United Cup, which begins on December 29. Both will then take a week-long break from training before the Australian Open on March 15.
start January. The two tennis greats could face each other in the first round as Nadal used a protected ranking for the Grand Slam tournament.
