Novak Djokovic He will seek to revalidate the label of candidate to win at Wimbledon this Friday, when he plays his semifinal duel against Jannik Sinner for a place in the great definition of the contest. Meanwhile, the Serbian is having fun on the field and proves to be in great shape, for which he receives praise from different glories of the sport.
Mats Wilander is one of them. The Swedish tennis player, who also knew how to be number 1 in the ATP ranking like Nole, was full of praise for his colleague. He showed his admiration and assured that he is the great candidate to stay with the Grand Slam.
“For me, Novak Djokovic not only the best ever compared to other people, for me in 2023 we have seen the best version of Novak Djokovic“, he pointed out. Then, he added: “Every aspect of his game seems a little better now than ever, maybe not the movement due to age, but for me he is not only the best on the men’s side, but the best version of itself”.
Mats Wilander now works as a sports commentator.
To argue it, Wilander outlined a comparison to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: “I think you have to compare yourself to Roger and Rafa. Unfortunately, Roger towards the end of his career his last match was at Wimbledon and he lost the last set 6-0. Federer looked a bit slow in that match. When Nadal came back and won the Australian Open last year it was an incredible effort that I wasn’t sure we were going to see. It took a while for him to come back and I wasn’t sure, he showed his age at times but experience he pushed him to the limit against Medvedev. Then he comes in and wins Roland Garros and he’s so good again. It’s been a roller coaster for him at times, but it’s natural, you can see that sometimes he’s slowing down a bit. He’s also changed his game to play more aggressively.
Finally, and in this regard, he predicted an impressive future for the Serbian, who already has 23 Grand Slams to his credit, which has already made him the top winner in the history of these tournaments: “With Novak there is no difference, the movement is similar , he looks the same and body wise he’s stronger he’s basically the best version of himself I don’t know why he shouldn’t be able to win 28, 29 or 30 Grand Slams he’s the favorite for Wimbledon, which makes him the favorite for the US Open. He is the favorite for the Australian Open because he won it 10 times and the defending champion at Roland Garros next year. I don’t see one sign that tells me it’s slowing down, I see a lot of signs that tell me it’s getting better.”
