However not solely the Olympics. Djokovic has all the time proven that he cares lots concerning the colours of the Serbian nationwide staff. The Serbian champion, regardless of not having an excellent second in his profession, through which he’s nonetheless with out titles in 2024, is not going to hand over serving to his Serbia this time both. In reality, it has been reported in current days that the 24-time Grand Slam champion will defend his nation within the knockout section of the 2024 Davis Cup in opposition to Greece, on September 14 and 15. The trail of the previous primary within the final version of the Davis Cup was interrupted exactly in opposition to the Italian nationwide staff, which relied on its champion Jannik Sinner, to eradicate it within the semifinals.
In the meantime, in an interview with SportKlub, Ivan Ljubicic, former tennis participant and former historic coach of Roger Federer, tried to research the explanations that led to Djokovic’s defeat within the Wimbledon ultimate in opposition to Carlitos Alcaraz.
“We aren’t removed from a whole generational change. Boris Becker instructed me that now even Djokovic has accepted Alcaraz’s superiority, one thing he had by no means carried out with Federer and Nadal. I’m positive that in Paris for the Olympics he may have the motivation however what is going to he do afterwards? With out Federer and Nadal the whole lot is completely different now. I feel that his is a psychological downside, he has not forgotten play. To combat Djokovic will need to have fireplace inside in any other case he’s lacking one thing and if he doesn’t really feel these stimuli he can find yourself in problem,” he defined.
Andy Roddick additionally analyzed the Wimbledon ultimate in one of many newest episodes of his podcast, spending phrases of nice admiration for Djokovic.
“It is loopy that Novak managed to get to the ultimate of this event. He had surgical procedure, no athletic preparation, little tennis and no preparation matches. And but he reached the ultimate at Wimbledon. It’s important to simply give Novak credit score. All he did earlier than Wimbledon was attempt to be wholesome sufficient to play his first spherical match, then the subsequent spherical and so forth. Individuals mentioned he would not transfer very nicely. Effectively, you need to prepare to be prepared. It isn’t his fault that he did not have the time. While you get to the best stage, these edges are uncovered they usually make the distinction. That is what occurred within the ultimate,” he mentioned.
Now there’s nice curiosity to grasp what targets the Serbian champion will obtain in Paris Olympics. It have to be mentioned that even when after Nole he manages to win the Olympic Gold – the one main title lacking from his assortment, as I mentioned earlier than – there’s curiosity to grasp what is going to occur subsequent and if he’ll nonetheless discover that fireplace inside to compete.
Psychological power will not be a present, it’s one thing that you need to work very laborious to develop.
Though there isn’t any bodily contact in tennis, there’s nonetheless quite a lot of eye contact.
