This season, Novak Djokovic has not won a Grand Slam. The Djoker clearly seems to have more difficulties than before, but he still managed to capture the gold medal at the Olympic Games. According to Goran Ivanisevic, his former partner still has a lot to give to tennis and he could well win yet another major.
Inexorably, Novak Djokovic is getting closer and closer to retirement. The Serbian is now 37 years old and he carefully chooses the tournaments he participates in. Sometimes he also has no choice, as with the Masters de Turinthat the Djoker is forced to miss, due to injury.

“He is still the best in the world”
By not being able to play certain tournaments, Novak Djokovic loses rhythm and this can be fatal against the best players in the world, like a Jannik Sinner or of a Carlos AlcarazFor example. But for Goran Ivanisevicthe former coach of Djokerwho spoke for Tennis Majorshis former foal has nothing to envy of the youngsters and he can still be the best in the world if he wishes. “I can’t know if he is motivated and to what extent, but the moment he decides to play, it means he is eager to play. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are clearly above the rest, but I put Novak in the same group as them. When Novak really wants to play, he is still the best in the world, in my opinion. »
Djokovic can still win a Grand Slam according to Ivanisevic
Although he is 37 years old and struggling lately, Novak Djokovic could still shock the tennis world. According to Goran Ivanisevicthe Djoker could still win a Grand Slam before bowing out. “The other thing is how much he wants to play and when – we saw it in the Olympics… If he steps on the court like that, he can still win a Grand Slam. It also depends on his ranking and the draw, when he should face Sinner or Alcaraz, a lot of factors, but can Novak do it? Yes, he can. You should never rule it out, I would never do that. And good for me, I won’t have to support Novak, I can remain his fan, unless he switches to women’s tennis! »
