Casper Ruud’s faller in the Roland-Garros final, Novak Djokovic brings his total to 23 Grand Slams won, a record in the history of tennis. He will arrive at Wimbledon as a favorite for the final victory. Boris Becker does not hide his concern and believes that Nole could announce his retirement after the London tournament.
Novak Djokovic is alone in the world. Thanks to his victory against Casper Ruud To Roland-Garrosthe Serb now has 23 titles in the Grand Slam. Title holder at Wimbledon, Nole will try to defend his crown in a week and he has the arguments for it. He could therefore win a 24th title of the Grand Slam and make sure never to be joined by Rafael Nadal. Boris Becker even fear that Djokovic retire in the event of a coronation.
“The guy wants to break records”
“It would be a mistake on his part to make his Grand Slam goal obvious now, because we know what happened last time: he won three, he reached the final of the fourth and could not bear the tension at its peak. That’s why he should only focus on Wimbledon. The guy wants to break records. I don’t know which one he can still beat, the calendar Grand Slam is perhaps the only one still extraordinary, “said Boris Becker about Novak Djokovic. The former tennis player believes that the Serb risks asking questions for the rest of his career in the event of a victory at Wimbledon.
“Where is it going to stop?”
“I think at Wimbledon he will still be in euphoria, in 7th heaven and for me he is the clear favorite. But then comes the summer break and then he will have to ask himself, if he is 24 Grand Slam titles away, the following thing: ‘Where is it going to stop? I can’t and don’t want to play forever,'” added Boris Becker for Eurosport Germany. Less than a year after Roger Federer’s retirement, such a decision by Novak Djokovic would leave the circuit orphaned.
