Athletistic/Tennis. Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, third in the world ranking and 22 times Grand Slam winner, has expressed his thoughts on the favorites for the upcoming Roland Garros tournament. He also shared his thoughts on the prospect of securing a 23rd major tennis tournament victory, which would put him ahead of Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal in the number of Slam wins.
Djokovic said one of the main reasons for his involvement in professional tennis is the desire to set new records and leave his mark on the history of the sport. He acknowledged that the situation today is different from ten years ago, especially in terms of how his body responds to an intense tournament schedule. He also noted that it is now physically harder for him to play than before.
However, Djokovic admitted that the historical aspect and the opportunity to set a new record motivates him. He noted that Nadal’s absence from the Roland Garros tournament is a great loss for tennis, since the Spaniard is the most successful player in the history of this tournament. He pointed out that this offers a chance for all tournament participants to compete for the title, since Nadal is usually the favorite in clay-court tournaments.
Djokovic also mentioned several players who could be considered favorites such as Carlos Alcaras, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune, Kasper Ruud and Alexander Zverev, noting that the tournament is an open fight and any of the participants can beat the favourites. He expressed the hope that it would be him who could win the Roland Garros tournament and become the winner. Novak Djokovic expressed his confidence and hope for success but acknowledged that the competition will be tough and he has to consider all factors. He is ready to accept the fact that now it becomes more difficult to play, but his desire to reach new heights in tennis remains unchanged.
