Top analyst reveals Novak Djokovic’s next goals

When it seemed like he was going through the worst of his career, Novak Djokovic silenced his opponents and won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in ParisThe 24-time Grand Slam champion has delivered a legendary performance that has shocked athletes in other sports.

The former world number 1 won the gold medal in Paris without dropping a single set, a feat that almost no one expected at the age of 37. Novak was clearly at a disadvantage compared to the four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final, as the Spaniard is much younger and had already defeated him comfortably in the final of the Wimbledon Championship a few weeks earlier.

After the victory, the 37-year-old from Belgrade burst into tears and ran to hug his family. Djokovic has been celebrating a lot in recent days and he has enjoyed one of the most special victories of his entire career. The Serbian champion decided to skip the Masters 1000 in Montreal and Cincinnatibecause he needed to recharge his batteries after the efforts of the past weeks. Djokovic will return directly to the US Open, where he will have to defend his title from last year. Nole will try to win his 25th Major, with which she can break a new record by beating Margaret Court.

Nole is still competitive

Many fans and insiders are wondering if Serbian legend Novak Djokovic will still be hungry after winning the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Speaking on the show ‘Sans Filet’ on Winamax TV, top analyst Benoît Maylin commented on Nole’s future: “Djokovic will be all the more dangerous because he has nothing to prove, he has the thirst for competition in his blood, he is not 37 years old, he is 10 years younger and he still has three goals: to win a 25th Grand Slam, to break Connors’ record of 108 titles (in reality 109), he is 99, and why shouldn’t he win a second gold medal in Los Angeles at the age of 41. It seems impossible, but this word does not exist in Novak Djokovic’s vocabulary.”

The Serbian champion decided not to play in Cincinnati, where he won the title last year by beating Carlos Alcaraz in an epic final.

Speaking on Tennis Channel, former doubles champion and top analyst Pam Schriver spoke about Djokovic: “Actually, halfway through the gold medal match, when I saw the level and what he put into it, the emotions afterward, one of the things I thought was, ‘No, we won’t see him again until the US Open‘. I think it makes perfect sense, he’s saving his body, he’s managing it. Good decision. Even though it was the most memorable two-out-of-three (set) match of last year – that marathon final against Carlos Alcaraz.”

Many people believe that Nole’s career is almost over, even though the Serbian legend has not ruled out playing until 2020. Los Angeles 2028After his victory at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, many legends and former players have called Djokovic the greatest tennis player ever.

Former ATP Ace Yevgeny Kafelnikov paid tribute to Nole on social media: “There is no doubt that Novak is the best tennis player of all time, that’s for sure. You can’t put him on the same level as Michael Jordan… I don’t think so, because I grew up with the idol of the best athlete of all time, namely Michael Jordan. I just wanted to see him play live. For me he is still number one, but Novak is definitely one of the three best athletes of all timewithout a doubt – all the achievements, the records he broke, the titles he won.”

Update on Djokovic’s schedule

By deciding to skip Cincinnati, the 24-time Grand Slam champion could relinquish his second place in the ATP rankings to Alcaraz if the Spaniard reaches at least the quarterfinals in Ohio.

During a press conference in Montreal this week, the world No. 1 said Jannik Sinner reflected on Djokovic’s triumph in Paris: “Of course I understand his reaction, but I think he understands it better than anyone. He worked so hard to get that medal, which was the last thing he had to do. He knew it in his head. He’s been close several times, won bronze or fourth place several times.

This year was his year, and it was a beautiful sight to see how much that meant to him. And then there’s Carlos’ reaction afterwards. It’s the same reaction, but in reverse. We work for these kinds of things, for success. It’s very beautiful to see.” The final of the Olympic Games in Paris was perhaps the best competition of the year so far.
