Athletistic/Tennis. The former first racket of the world, legendary German tennis player Boris Becker, reacted to the victory of Serbian Novak Djokovic in the 2023 ATP Finals tournament. This tournament ended last week in Turira (Italy) .
“For me, Novak is the Lion King. We do our best to teach tennis fans what cannot be taught. This man has won everything in the last 16 or 17 years, and he is probably playing his best tennis at 36. He was at this age, we are one step away from winning the Grand Slam, it’s out of the ordinary!
Maybe we should all take a broader look: Djokovic is not only the best tennis player around, but also the best athlete. “I want to compare him to Lionel Messi, LeBron James and Tom Brady. I believe Novak Djokovic belongs to this cohort, because all these athletes still dominate or have dominated their sport even at an advanced age,” quotes Becker at Eurosport.
Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open, Roland Garros, the US Open in 2023 and also reached the Wimbledon final, where he lost to Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
