Every tennis season, fans witness youngsters shine and progress as the tournament passes on. From Daniil Medvedev since 2017 to Carlos Alcaraz since 2021. Even the 2024 season youngsters, Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton, are among these groups. But when it comes to the big stage games, they face the Serbian legend, Novak Djokovic, and we all know what the results are. He is 36 years old, almost double the age of a few players, but everyone has failed to pass him. Looking at his dominance, several experts and legends of the game have praised him.
The French tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou said,
“They are close, but they are far from Djokovic.”
Here is the complete statement:
“They are close, but they are far. The level of tennis is very close to Djokovic’s. Now what makes the difference is still his ability to compete and his mental strength, which puts him still in a way, way above.”
Since 2020, he has won 21 titles, including eight Grand Slams and two ATP Tour Finals. Collectively, he has played 216 games and lost only 27. With a win percentage of 87.5, he is undoubtedly the best in the game. Moreover, he gets the most booing and hate from the fans. But that doesn’t stop him, as he converts all this booing into claps for him.
As a result, Patrick Mouratoglou places Novak Djokovic at the top and feels no players are close to him. Whether it be strength or mental! He has all his aces in the right place.
In case you missed: “The Djokovic vs Alcaraz rivalry has been magical for tennis,” says Jim Courier
