According to Italian tennis legend Adriano Panatta, Novak Djokovic may be pushed to retirement by Jannik Sinner.
Novak Djokovic is still proving that he is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. That is not simply an empty statement. Nole affirmed his power on the courts this year by winning 3/4 Grand Slams in addition to a number of other major events such as the Cincinnati Masters and ATP Finals.
Even so, he still has some minor problems, such as the loss at Wimbledon to Carlos Alcaraz or the recent defeat to Jannik Sinner at Davis Cup 2023, but fans still see no signs of Nole slowing down in the competition. any possibility.
Italian tennis legend Adriano Panatta expressed his opinion in an interview, saying that Djokovic will retire from this sport if he no longer feels he is capable of competing with the remaining opponents. This is not an unfounded statement because Djokovic has spoken out on this issue before.
The world’s No. 1 tennis player will stop when he doesn’t feel as competitive as he wants. According to Mr. Panatta, the possibility could happen in 2024 if Italy’s hope – Jannik Sinner continues to defeat Djokovic.
“If Sinner beats him two or three more times in 2024, it will become Djokovic’s nightmare, pushing him towards retirement. History teaches and often repeats itself. Bjorn Borg retired from tennis with the arrival of John McEnroe, then McEnroe retired when Becker arrived.”
The fans are still ecstatic about what Jannik Sinner has done in the past few weeks, but expecting the young Italian talent to continuously defeat Djokovic is quite unrealistic. After all, Sinner failed in the ATP Finals, so expecting him to “destroy” Djokovic’s dominance is too early.
