Novak Djokovic has managed to make an unsuccessful season extraordinary. The Serbian phenomenon paid dearly for his decision not to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, since he had to skip the Australian Open and the US Open this year. For the same reason, the former world number 1 also had to miss all the American Masters 1000. After the disappointment at Roland Garros, Nole returned to winning ways by winning his seventh Wimbledon title (fourth in a row). The 35-year-old from Belgrade thus reached 21 Slams, only one away from Rafael Nadal's historical record. The Serb improved his season by also winning the ATP Finals in Turin, the Masters 1000 in Rome, the ATP 500 in Astana and the ATP 250 in Tel Aviv. A few weeks ago, Goran Ivanisevic's protégé received permission to travel to Australia next month. During a press conference organized in Marbella in collaboration with Asics, Djokovic talked about how he came to tennis. "Sometimes I remember why I started playing tennis as a child. No one in my family had played tennis before me. Tennis was not our family sport, as my father had been a skier in his youth. I fell in love with tennis quite casually," Djokovic said. "They built three tennis courts in front of my family's restaurant, about 15 meters away. I was four or five years old and I was curious, I was interested in the sport and I watched the players whenever I could. So I asked my parents to talk to me about tennis, I started watching it on TV and I asked them to buy me a racket. That's how it all started," added the 21-time Slam champion. Nole will play the Adelaide ATP 250 the first week of January, and then go on the hunt for his tenth title at the Australian Open.
Davydenko reflects on DjokovicAsked by the Russian site Championat about the season that has just ended on the men's circuit, Nikolay Davydenko said he was once again impressed by Novak Djokovic who was also deprived of two Grand Slam tournaments. “Let's start with Djokovic, who couldn't make it to the Australian Open or the US Open. But he was able to participate in Wimbledon and he won it, all without a single point. I don't know what to say about him anymore. Maybe if he had played every Grand Slam tournament, he would have won everything and be number one in the world."
