Former Boris Becker player analyzed the nearest Wimbledon of Novak Djokovic and predicted whether he had the opportunity to win the 25th Grand Slam. According to Becker, Jannik Sinner is the “version 2.0 of Djokovic”.
Each Grand Slam tournament has been a strong shot for those who still believe that Novak Djokovic can still be able to conquer the 25th Grand Slam title, the title he has pursued for a long time. At Wimbledon, he approached the target, but once again, people had to admit that there were currently two players who were superior to him.
There is no need to mention the name, but Boris Becker attaches great importance to them when analyzing the true chance of the old student in the journey to face that huge challenge. The German player shared his perspective on Andrea Petkovic's podcast, and this is his conclusions.
“It is a big question now, what everyone is wondering. The big problem for Novak is that if he wants to win a Grand Slam, he may have to defeat both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That's what happened in Wimbledon. In my opinion, the tournament he has the best chance to win the 25th Grand Slam title that he is pursuing.”
“Just remember, Novak won Wimbledon seven times and reached the semi -finals up to 14 times. Imagine what it means. The numbers are so crazy that almost absurd,” Becker shared in an interview recorded by Tennis365.
“It is very important that Novak needs to realize that the moment he was injured in the match against Cobolli in the quarterfinals. However, it must be honest that at the age of 38, the injury is much more likely to happen,” he added a bit of humor.
“After that, when I met Jannik, in the first two sets, I thought Novak was still physically enough. But obviously, the Italian player played superior, because in my opinion, Sinner is Djokovic version 2.0 – that is a Novak younger than 15 years old. And I think Novak is also aware of that,” Becker said.
So can Djokovic win another Grand Slam title in his career, or everything is too late? Can it be surpassed both Carlos and Jannik in two consecutive sets of five consecutive sets? And at the age of 38, how can you improve your physical strength to accept that challenge? Becker did not rule out the possibility of unexpectedly, but he favored the reality approach, a viewpoint strengthened by the logic of the present moment.
“I am happy that Novak came to the semi -finals of a Grand Slam, but is it enough for him? He continues to play because he wants to win the 25th Grand Slam, to become the only one holding that record. But to admit that, on high -day days, Sinner and Alcaraz are now superior to Novak at the peak of his form. In fact, when thinking that Novak still has a chance to win an extra Grand Slam? Time is running out to him, ”concluded the former world tennis player.
