The great goals that Novak Djokovic had after winning Roland Garros

After fifteen days of meteorologically clean competition, of intense heat and a strong gust of wind, the universal deluge overran Paris. Everything that was not done in the past days was rained out Novak Djokovic onkept promises to the media. calmly Without giving the impression of making history.

He won Roland Garros for the third time, having already won in 2016 and 2021, adding to his twenty-third Grand Slam. There are also 10 Australian Opens, 7 Wimbledons and 3 US Opens. For the first time in his career, he is the most successful man in men’s tennis, leaving Rafael Nadal (22 Grand Slams) and Roger Federer (twenty).

He had the Cup of the Musketeers in his hands, he didn’t even celebrate his victory, and he was already thinking about Wimbledon. He will take a few days to rest, but he has already started concentrating for the ‘Cathedral’, which will host the tournament from July 3 to 16.

“The road has not finished. Why think that my career can end soon if I’m still winning Grand Slams? I’m looking forward to Wimbledon,” he said. Djokovic, 36 years old a few days ago.

The oldest Roland Garros champion will “find the motivation to win the 24th, maybe the 25th. Who knows where the end will be,” wondered his Croatian coach, Goran Ivanisevicassisted by a former Spanish ATP player Carlos Gomez-Herreraalso a personal friend of the Serbian tennis player.

He still has incentives Djokovic. In three weeks he defends his crown at the All England Club in London. He will chase another record from Roger Federer, which he can match with an eighth Wimbledon crown.

This is an important step for the most ambitious mission of ‘Nole’, which he touched in 2021 but fell in the final of the US Open against the Russian. Daniel Medvedev. There he experienced the thrill of completing a Grand Slam in the same year, winning all four on three different surfaces, an unprecedented event because during the era of American Don Budge and Australian Rod Laver there was only grass and clay.

Roland Garros, “the highest mountain I had to climb” (admitted Djokovic)”, has ensured that the Grand Slam is in his plans. He has dominated Wimbledon with a firm hand in recent editions, three times succeeded in New York, a destination that seems to be more complicated because there is accumulated fatigue and more and more opponents who feel strong on the hard court.

And he will want to complete the season with a seventh ATP Finals title, breaking the record at six with Roger Federer.

In his complete record there is only one gap that he wants to cover in 2021, at the Tokyo Olympics, without success, because he is too obsessed with being an Olympic champion. He has a bronze, in Beijing 2008. In 2024 the paris gamesbased on the clay of Roland Garros.

It has a ‘silver salad bowl’ in it Davis cuphas won 94 professional titles, to the American’s 109 Jimmy Connorsbegan his week 388 at world number one, extending his record.

“He’s like a Ninja,” he said. Goran Ivanisevic about his student, admitting that “winning was a big relief because I put a lot of pressure on myself. The lack of Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros this means both great opportunities and increased tension because there is no longer one favorite who carries all the responsibility.

In three weeks, that will be the condition of Djokovic in his favorite tournament, his dream since he was a child: Wimbledon. As at other times, he will not officially compete until then.
