Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic who won the Australian Open, will still win several Grand Slam tournaments in his years, claims the former ninth racket in the world in singles Andrei Chesnokov.
On Sunday, in the Australian Open final, Djokovic defeated Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6:3, 7:6 (7:4), 7:6 (7:5). After the game, Novak, 35, couldn’t hold back the tears. Djokovic has reached the Australian Open final ten times and has never lost. In total, the Serb won the 22nd victory in Grand Slam tournaments and repeated the feat of Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
Novak is one of the greatest tennis players in history, Chesnokov told . – If you take titles, then with Nadal they have the same indicators. Looking into the near future which of them might outperform, Djokovic has a better chance as Novak is phenomenal. If we take his whole career, we can say that the golden age is coming now. It’s like wine, it gets better with age. I think he still has a few Grand Slams ahead of him.
– Do you see a pattern in the fact that a year ago he couldn’t play in Australia?
I remember this story very well, I remember how the Prime Minister spoke rudely about the situation. Is it the level of a diplomat to speak like this? It’s terrible that he said that. But in the end, it’s good that the Australians decided to let Djokovic into their continent. It’s good that it all ended like this.
In early January 2022, Djokovic flew to Melbourne to compete in the Australian Open, but Australian authorities detained him due to issues with documents regarding medical exemption from mandatory vaccinations, revoked his visa and sent him to quarantine. As a result, the Serb left the country and missed the tournament.
