Roger Federer has retired, Rafael Nadal is not competing, who else can compete with Djokovic?
Carlos Alcaraz? Just that moment of ecstasy at the Wimbledon final in July.
Then, the young Spanish tennis player continuously lost in the finals of the Cincinnati Masters and most recently, clearly lost after 2 games in the semi-finals of the ATP Finals. Those who had high expectations for Alcaraz must have been very disappointed…
As for Jannik Sinner, November 15, 2023 is definitely the most memorable day in his life, a moment in the future, he will probably tell his children and grandchildren: “Once upon a time, father -he once defeated Legend Novak Djokovic.
Because next, people expect him to win x2 match in the final of ATP Finals 2023, he will become “a normal and naive chick”, no way compared to “the only crane” Djokovic.
Winning against the Italian opponent with an easy score of 6-3 in both games, after only 1 hour and 43 minutes, it was like “walking” Pala Alpitour, for Djokovic, it was simply like… “another moment”. creating more history, “another moment that turns all records – and achievements” into the most meaningless thing in the world.
Djokovic is here, in his “peak” state once again, this year he is 36 years old but still won his 7th ATP Finals and owns 7 titles this season.
“This is definitely one of the best seasons I have experienced in my life, without a doubt,” Djokovic happily shared.
“To wear the crown of victory by defeating a hometown hero, Jannik, who has played such great tennis this season, is phenomenal. I’m very proud of my performance in the last few days, against Alcaraz and Sinner, maybe the best players…”
Novak Djokovic’s “one of the best seasons” saw him: Win 55/61 matches, win 7 titles at Adelaide 1, Australian Open, Roland Garros, Cincinnati Masters, US Open, Paris Masters and ATP Finals.
For comparison…
2022 season: Won 42/49 matches, won 5 titles
2021 season: Won 55/62 matches, won 5 titles
2020 season: Won 41/46 matches, won 4 titles
2019 season: Won 55/66 matches, won 5 titles
2018 season: Won 53/66 matches, won 4 titles
2017 season: Won 32/40 matches, won only 2 titles
After the 2023 ATP Finals, Djokovic will have a “quite deep rest” before returning to prepare for next year’s season, the 2024 season.
He has a huge goal ahead: Winning the Australian Open, and becoming the first person in history, both male and female, to own 25 Grand Slam titles.
If he achieves this milestone, Djokovic’s Monument will definitely stand until “eternity”. The “single crane” must really want to fly even higher!
