Athletistic/Tennis. Former world third racket, Russian Nikolai Davydenko, assessed the chances of the legendary Serbian Novak Djokovic to win the Golden Slam. This event can only take place once every four years, because for this a player must win all four Grand Slam tournaments in one season, as well as a gold medal at the Olympic Games.
“It seems to me that time passes, and every year it becomes more and more difficult. If three sets were played at the Grand Slam, I would say yes, Novak has a 100% chance of winning all four Grand Slams”, after all , it’s not five games to come back. Like at the Masters, he took it and calmly slammed everyone. But at the Majors, there are still five-set matches. It takes a lot out of the body – playing seven matches in two weeks. I don’t know how long Novak will be enough.
It will be interesting to see what form he is in for the Australian Open. Many tennis players do not particularly strive to participate in the Olympics – the player needs special preparation for this. But tennis players don’t, because the tour is year-round and the Olympics are on the calendar. It’s practically a regular tournament. And whoever is in better shape at that moment will have a chance to win in Paris,” Davydenko was quoted as saying by Championship.
Note that the only “Golden Helmet” in the history of tennis was won by the German Steffi Graf in 1988. That year, she won all four Grand Slam tournaments and also won a medal. gold at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul (South Korea).
