Renowned tennis expert Mats Wilander from Eurosport has commended Novak Djokovic for overcoming the dominance of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in men’s tennis and ultimately surpassing them in terms of Grand Slam titles. With Djokovic currently holding 24 Grand Slam trophies, Nadal, who recently announced his retirement, has 22 titles, and Federer, who retired back in 2022, has 20 to his name.
Wilander expressed his admiration for Djokovic’s resilience in the face of Federer and Nadal’s supremacy over the sport. He highlighted Djokovic’s ability to thrive despite being the youngest among the trio and lauded his record-breaking achievements.
“I think Novak is on a different journey than worrying about Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in a way. He surpassed them in Grand Slam victories and pretty much in every record that is worth counting. So I think that there’s no threat, obviously, from Rafael Nadal to Novak Djokovic. At least, I don’t think so now,” Wilander remarked.
Wilander also commented on Djokovic’s remarkable consistency and determination, especially in the wake of challenging circumstances like undergoing knee surgery. He praised Djokovic’s unwavering commitment to delivering his best performance every day.
“I think Novak will feel so proud,” Wilander said regarding Djokovic’s accomplishments in the sport. Despite the immense success enjoyed by Federer and Nadal, Djokovic has carved out his own legacy in the tennis world.
