Unusual > Evans: “The way Djokovic stretches, he looks like a 14-year-old child”

Dan Evans, who met Novak Djokovic several times in Marbella during his winter preparation period, is betting on the Serb for 2023.

« Novak was in Marbella and I saw him in the gym, had a few conversations with him. When you see him there, he looks like a gymnast: the way he stretches… it’s like looking at a 14 year old kid. If his body does not break, he will be very well placed. He just got confirmation that he’s going to Australia, and he’s very excited about it. When you see how he finished the year, what is his ranking and how little he played, you realize he is the favorite for Australia, with Nadal probably right behind him. I think Novak still thinks he’s the best by far and his game is more compelling than ever. Novak and Rafa are in their mid-thirties now, but the sport is changing. Look at Messi in recent weeks with Olivier Giroud’s performance. Even Andy, which he does with a metal hip. Being 35 isn’t so bad these days.”
