Novak Djokovic seems to have found the elixir of eternal youth. The Serbian tennis player, at the age of 36, was able to show his best tennis and regain the world number 1 in a year of scandal. In 2023, Novak Djokovic won 3 of the 4 ‘big’ events of the year, only losing the final of Wimbledon in the view of Carlos Alcaraz.
All this, after 2022 where he was the star for his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19, which made him number 1. A year later, he became famous. The reason? Novak assured that his motivation to bring out his best version is the emergence of young players like this Carlos Alcaraz or the Italian Jannik Sinner.
“Young people who are so hungry and so inspired to play their best tennis against me is an added motivation,” Djokovic told CBS News ’60 Minutes’ about Alcaraz, who beat him in the Wimbledon final, and Sinner, who left him without the Davis Cup.
“I think they woke me up with an animal”added Novak, who found in his young opponents his best way to feed his desire to keep working and showing his best level. That’s your magic potion. Your elixir of eternal youth.
