Martina Navratilova joined the discussion to give her opinion about an aging Novak Djokovic who recently lost in the US Open third round.
Martina Navratilova doesn’t think playing for a long time while struggling with poor form will ruin Novak Djokovic‘s reputation. Many think Djokovic’s form has started to decline as he failed to win a title on the ATP Tour this year, and the gold medal at the Paris Olympics that had eluded him for a long time was the only title he was able to win.
Navratilova believes Djokovic won’t be hanging up his racket in the near future as he is eyeing the historic 25th Grand Slam, aiming to surpass Margaret Court as both are tied with 24 majors. The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion also feels that winning his 25th major trophy won’t stop Djokovic as he will have the desire to keep on winning more in the next major tournaments.
It depends how much the fire is still burning. If it’s still burning, I’m never going to say ‘you shouldn’t play’, because he’s never going to tarnish his legacy – it’s ridiculously good.Martina Navratilova said during the Q&A session for Sky Sports
Djokovic won the Olympic gold medal by beating Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. He skipped a couple of hard-court tournaments before arriving at Flushing Meadows, where he registered easy wins in his first two rounds before losing to Alexei Popyrin in four sets in the third round. It was the first time since 2017 that Djokovic failed to add a major title to his trophy cabinet in a season.
Paul McNamee recalls Novak Djokovic’s imitation of Maria Sharapova
Novak Djokovic used to show his humorous side often during the early years of his career. His most popular antic was his imitation of Maria Sharapova, which led to many thinking that Djokovic was trying hard to please everyone, which wasn’t the case as Paul McNamee, who has known Djokovic for a long time, talked about how the Serb always had an easygoing personality before he became a celebrity.
When he imitated Sharapova and the others, people said that he was trying too hard to please others, but actually, that was Novak- that’s what I saw when he was a teenager, simply that’s how he was, open, that’s how he was before ‘Novak Djokovic’ became a celebrity.Paul McNamee said during an interaction with Sport Klub
Djokovic’s next tournament is the Davis Cup for Serbia against Greece, which is scheduled to start on September 14. Following the Davis Cup, Djokovic will feature in the Shanghai Open for the first time since 2019.
