Coach Goran Ivanisevic revealed that Novak Djokovic probably won’t be able to play an ATP tournament for a long time because he might miss all the Asian events and return to action at the Paris Masters. On Sunday, the 36-year-old Djokovic capped off his summer on the hard courts with back-to-back titles at the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open.
This week, Djokovic will be in action again as he is scheduled to represent Serbia in the Davis Cup. After the Davis Cup, Djokovic will rest and maybe play again at the Paris Masters, which starts on October 30. “I don’t look into the future.
My future is that I had knee surgery today, so see you soon. As for Novak, I know he will go to the Davis Cup. After that, he should rest well and regroup. I don’t think he will go to China, but he should play at least one more thing before Turin and the final tournament.
Maybe Paris. Let’s see, now we can enjoy this victory for a while,” Ivanisevic told Sport Klub.
Ivanisevic in Djokovic’s 24th Grand Slam victory
This year, Djokovic turned 36 and won three out of four Grand Slam tournaments. Only at Wimbledon, Djokovic did not win the title.
But even at Wimbledon, Djokovic came close to winning the title as Carlos Alcaraz defeated him in five sets in the final. “Unfortunately, (at) Wimbledon, one, two points, up and down, he can do all four (slams in a year).
We can’t be spoiled, you know. He achieved something amazing. He came here and did 24 Grand Slams. Still hungry, still breaking records, still playing incredible tennis. It looks beautiful from above. Just have a good seat and enjoy myself.
He is a genius. He is one of a kind. There are not many people in the world like him sport-wise,” Ivanisevic said.
