Ivan Ljubicic, the former coach of the legendary Swiss tennis player Roger Federer, discussed the new tennis era in an interview with the Italian daily La Stampa. He focused on Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz.
The young Italian and the young Spaniard were cautioned by Ljubicic not to underestimate the Serbian champion Nole due to his competitive nature. “We knew how Jannik operates. He strives for continuous progress rather than concentrating on a single objective.
Because he is the strongest, Sinner will get to the top, but he won’t reverse his intentions. It’s never easy to win a tournament since the bar is always high.One player who should never be written off in the tennis world is Novak Djokovic.
He truly still remains a very tough opponent to beat when he’s on the ball, which I’m sure he will be from now on,” the man stated.
Federer’s old coach wanted to clarify the Olympic competition, which will take place in the Stade Roland Garros in Paris this year, in relation to the similarity between the Olympics and the Slam.
“I think it’s important that the Olympics are held in Paris. In Tokyo, it would not have been the same. Since it’s the only match he hasn’t won, Djokovic is concentrating a lot on it, albeit there are a variety of reasons for this.
I believe their importance will be equivalent to that of the 2012 Wimbledon Olympics,” he said.
Djokovic’s priorities are the Olympics, Wimbledon, and Roland Garros.
Djokovic is undoubtedly the most successful player in tennis history and one of the best players overall.
His stats keep getting better every week, from the record number of weeks he spends at the top of the ATP ranking to the issue of triumphs against the Serbian, who is more determined than ever. Nole has lost a lot of significant matches in 2024, and in a few days he will begin the Italian Internationals with an absurd zero titles won.
The truth is that the Serbian tennis player’s primary goals are still in reach. These include, of course, the other Grand Slam events like Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and most importantly, the Olympics in Paris, where he hopes to finish as the ATP No. 1—the one championship that is still absent from his illustrious resume.
In a recent interview, Goran Ivanisevic admitted to having a near-obsession with discussing Djokovic’s and the Olympic team’s objectives, as did Ljubicic.
