Novak Djokovic is once again a main topic in the world of tennis. The Serbian is usually in the eye of the storm, both for good and for bad. And this time the debate reappears about whether his tennis and his body can be enough to achieve one more Grand Slam. Andy Roddick y Eugenie Bouchard They argue, in the American podcast, about the options that the Belgrade tennis player has.
– 2024, ‘Horrible Year’ for Djokovic
2024 is being a year to forget in Novak Djokovic’s career. Without no final or no title throughout the season his meniscus operation that prevented him from finishing Roland Garros and that keeps him in doubt about participating in Wimbledon. For many it is a bad year for the Serbian, but for Roddick it is not all so negative: “For a year of downturn, they have reached the semifinals and quarterfinals of the first two Grand Slams of the year. Those are good results for us.”says the former tennis player.
And given the million-dollar question, the one that many are asking, taking into account Novak’s age (37) and his physical condition (he recently had meniscus surgery), Will Djokovic be able to win one more Grand Slam?Roddick has no doubts: “Yes, if I had to bet, I would say yes. He can still play and there’s no one in front of him, he’s chasing ghosts right now as far as the record books go. So just on merit and by game, I think for sure he can win some more.”.
In the same line continue Eugenie BouchardWimbledon finalist in 2014: “I think that can get two more, and I don’t think he will ever lack motivation because we see it in him right now. It all depends on health, if you can be healthy enough to chain those seven games in two weeks“.
– Age is not just a number
Another issue that was taken into account was the Serbian’s age and whether he is still as unbeatable as he has been for many years. In this regard, Roddick has doubts about him: “I still think that He is the best grass player in the world when he is healthy. But he is no longer young, time is invincible. Without a doubt he has given everything, but when you start having these operations throughout the year, everything is more complicated”.
The opinion of both former tennis players is clear, they trust that Djokovic will win at least one more Grand Slam, but time and age take their toll on everyone. At the moment, he fights against the current to reach Wimbledon and then fights for the olympic gold. No one doubts that the Serbian is going to try until the death rattles of his career, but no one knows if fate has one more gift in store for Novak.
