Novak Djokovic experienced a tremendous disappointment at the US Open, the tournament that was supposed to allow him to write yet another legendary page. After winning the first three Slams of the season, the world number 1 had turned up in New York as a big favorite despite the setback at the Tokyo Olympics. Should he triumph in the Big Apple, the Serbian phenomenon would become the second man in the Open Era after Rod Laver to win all four majors in the same year. Nole's dream was sensationally shattered one step away from eternal glory, under the blows of a perfect Daniil Medvedev in the final act. To tell the truth, pressure and fatigue prevented the 34-year-old from Belgrade from expressing himself 100%, a very tangible feeling right from the start of the match. The 20-time Grand Slam champion is registered for the Indian Wells Masters 1000 next month and is already qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin. During a recent interview with 'Il Messaggero', Ivan Ljubicic admitted that he would not be surprised if Novak decided to close his 2021 prematurely.
Ljubicic opens up on Novak Djokovic"Let me tell you - I have no plan, absolutely nothing," Novak Djokovic was quoted as saying by Sportklub. "I don't know if I'm going to play anything, anywhere… I'm just here in New York right now." Against that background, Ivan Ljubicic recently told Il Messaggero that he would like to see Djokovic participate in the Paris Masters as well as the ATP Finals. However, the Croat admitted he would not be surprised if the Serb were to end his season as things stand. "As for the question of what I expect for the rest of the year, I would like to see Djokovic in Paris-Bercy and at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin 2021, but I wouldn't be surprised if he decided not to play again in the rest of the season," Ivan Ljubicic said. The Croat believes the Big 3 will continue to be a force to reckon with but, in the same breath, pointed out that the Next Gen has rapidly closed the gap. "It will be interesting in the next big tournaments if the big three will win titles again or if everyone stopped at the figure of 20," the Croat said. "I think they will continue to be competitive but we will have to see if young players who are already standing out are able to win five sets. (Matteo) Berrettini is in this group. Nor can we forget (Alexander) Zverev, Medvedev, (Stefanos) Tsitsipas, (Andrey) Rublev..."
