While Roger Federer has retired from sport in 2022 and that of Rafael Nadal is getting closer and closer, Novak Djokovic seems to be the last representative of the old generation of tennis. In recent years, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have become the main headliners and are the Serbian’s biggest competitors. But for Marion Bartoli, they are not yet at her level.
Gradually, the long chapter of world tennis written by the legendary trio composed of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, coming to an end. The first retired from the courts two years ago now, while the second seems closer than ever to leaving the courts. The latter is still playing at the highest level, but at the age of 37, he is also getting closer and closer to the end of his career. While new faces emerge, notably those of Carlos Alcaraz And Jannik Sinner, Marion Bartoli judges that they are not yet at the level displayed by Djoko.
“Tell me the number of times Djokovic cramped in finals against Federer or Nadal? »
Invited in THE Big Mouths of Sport on RMC, Marion Bartoli blurted out about Carlos Alcaraz And Jannik Sinner. She points in particular to the physical quality of the two players compared to that of Novak Djokovic : “ When we see the Roland‐Garros final between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, who are obviously very great champions, and the number of unforced errors they still commit, the cramps of Alcaraz and Sinner in the semi‐finals. Tell me the number of times Djokovic cramped in finals against Federer or Nadal that lasted more than five hours? »
“This is not at all the end of the Novak Djokovic era. »
Following his intervention, Marion Bartoli tackles the technical level of Carlos Alcaraz And Jannik Sinner. According to the former player, Novak Djokovic still has many good years ahead of him: “ The number of mistakes made by these players in the finals of Grand Slam tournaments where the level is higher… This is not at all the end of the Novak Djokovic era.»
