Australian Open> Roddick: “I don’t think Nadal is the favorite, whether Djokovic is there or not”

The race for the GOAT, or rather the one who will end his career with the most Grand Slams, will resume in 2022. With two forces present: Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Roger Federer remains offside for the moment. On Tennis Channel, Andy Roddick believes that Nole’s probable absence from the Australian Open, the Major where he shone the most, can change everything. Even if Rafa will not necessarily make the difference.

« After seeing the bodies deteriorate, Novak has been playing the best, consistently for five, even ten years. And it has only gotten better this year. I don’t think you can say that about Rafa or Roger at this point in their careers. Novak is still the favorite, but this new situation where Rafa comes in and the road to the Australian Open title doesn’t necessarily go through Novak… After that, I don’t think Rafa is the favorite, whether Novak is there or not. But there is an additional difficulty for Nole », analyzed the American.

If the Australian Open is played without Novak Djokovic, the favorites will indeed be Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev.
