Drama for Djokovic: here’s found the problem the Serbian tennis player might have right now. The situation
Novak Djokovic, for the first time since he’s been playing the Olympics, will enter the five-ring tournament without ever having won a title. 2024 is a difficult year for the Serbian tennis player, who cannot express himself at his best. Yes, age is advancing and young people have more strength. But he, with the character he has, still wants to prove that he is one of the strongest in the world.
At Wimbledon, however, Alcaraz had it easy in the final. The Spaniard virtually destroyed Djokovic, who rarely in the course of the match had the physical, and mental, strength to fight back. And the attitude did not go unnoticed and was analyzed even by someone who knows him really well. Who has been close to him for a very long time, and who revealed what Djokovic’s problem might really be right now.
Djokovic’s problem is psychological
Taking to the microphones of SportKlub Ivan Ljubicic, former tennis player and longtime coach of Roger Federer, analyzed the defeat and Nole’s moment in general. “We are not far from a complete generational change. Boris Becker told me that by now even Djokovic has accepted Alcaraz’s superiority, something he never did with Federer and Nadal. “
“I’m sure in Paris for the Olympics he will have the motivation but what will he do after that? Without Federer and Nadal now everything is different. I think his is a psychological problem, he has not forgotten how to play the game. To fight Djokovic has to have the fire inside otherwise he lacks something and if he doesn’t feel those stimuli he can end up in trouble.” In short, the stimuli, something that goes beyond what is the physical condition. There, that would be a difficult problem to overcome at that age. But without a doubt, Nole, in Paris, starts as always as one of the favorites.
