Invited to speak about Novak Djokovic before the clash this Tuesday in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open against Carlos Alcaraz, John McEnroe, consultant for Eurosportfelt that the Serbian absolutely no longer cared about how to triumph, that all that mattered to him was to push his records as far as possible.
A position that is understood even if not everyone will necessarily agree.
“What he wants is to reach 25 Grand Slam titles, and I don’t think he cares how he does it. If he knew he was going to win the tournament, of course he would rather play Alcaraz and beat him, then beat Jannik Sinner in the final, the best of the best. But at this point, it’s not like he hasn’t proven he can beat the best, and he’s done it a number of times. He’s just trying to set records that won’t be broken. It’s already very close, if not already there. I don’t see how a male player could break his records for a long time. »
