In the midst of rumors about the possible birth of a new circuit that would rival the ATP and WTA, Novak Djokovic assured that tennis needs to innovate, although he admitted not knowing anything about this possible circuit.
Before your appearance with Serbia in the United Cupthe world number 1 stated that “in general, I always support the improvement of the sport. I think that tennis is not taking advantage of its full potential. We are one of the most watched and popular sports in the world, but I think we have been quite conservative and conventional in certain aspects, and that has not been a great attraction for younger audiences.
Thus, Djokovic emphasized that “I am a great defender of our history, tradition and all that. But I think we should try to adapt to modern times and try to understand what the younger audience wants and really make tennis more attractive.”
Regarding the option of a new tour, the Serbian assured that “I have also heard rumors, but I suppose they are still the first stages and we did not see anything concrete.” And he wasn’t the only one who spoke out about these rumors. He did it too Jessica Pegula, world number 5, who believes that it is only a matter of time before another circuit appears. “I think it’s inevitable,” the American said. “There’s a lot of talk about it.”
