Consultant for the BBC on this 2021 edition of Wimbledon, John McEnroe obviously does not have his tongue in his pocket. Asked about Novak Djokovic’s goal of achieving the Golden Slam (winning the four Grand Slams plus the Olympics the same year), the American believes that the world number 1 will fail in Japan in less than three weeks.
“It’s my personal opinion, but he’s going to lose in the Olympics. Maybe someone can surprise him and then it will wake him up for the US Open and like that he will win all the Grand Slams, which will be monumental. Moreover, Federer or Nadal did not do it either. It has been fifty years since Rod Laver did it (in 1969). “
