Holder of a Master's degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with Tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Not present on the circuit in 2024 outside of major events, Novak Djokovic still has something under his belt to try to win a 25th Grand Slam title. The 37-year-old Serbian inevitably has less physical abilities with the passage of time, and he must adapt to find solutions against his young opponents. He has found great motivation to start this new season.
For this 23rd season on the circuit ATP, Novak Djokovic decided to bring a new major element to those around him and not the least important one. Indeed, Andy Murray became his new coach. An astonishing decision, which will perhaps allow him to dominate his opponents. The Serbian is capable of excelling in all sectors, even if he knows that at his age he will not be able to reinvent himself.
Djokovic ready to make tactical changes?
Over the years, Novak Djokovic knew how to rely on a formidable quality of defense and he managed to bring down so many opponents. At 37, it is obviously difficult to find another area in which to dominate his opponents, but he intends to renew himself to return to the top. “I'm not looking to completely transform my game. I'm not going to be Giovanni (Mpetshi Perricard) serving two first serves and going to the net (smile), but I'm definitely looking to improve, even if it's just a very small percentage, every shot that I have in my game. What people maybe don't necessarily see is the positioning on the court, the transition game, the tactics. I mainly focus on myself, on how I can improve physically, on the game plan, mentally too” he explains after his defeat against Reilly Opelka has Brisbane. His words reported by We Love Tennis.
Djokovic wants to last physically
Less comfortable in 2024 in Grand Slam, Novak Djokovic was unable to add a 25th title to his record. Instead, he managed to win the Olympic gold medal in a tournament that didn't require as much effort. “I have to be ready to compete, no matter what it takes, no matter how many hours I have to spend with the kids on the court. And then, of course, you know, I think in the coming weeks we're also going to, especially the week before the Australian Open, do a lot of video analysis of my main opponents, of the best players.” he continues.
