With the fall of Medvedev for 1 hour 53 minutes, although the body is not completely healthy – suffered from muscle injury from the match against Taylor Fritz in the third round, Djokovic continues to prove his extraordinary bravery.
At the age of 33, Djokovic is still waiting for more great success. And not letting Djokovic fans have to be lower, coach Ivanisevic has confirmed that Nole's goal is nothing but the next Grand Slam titles.
“18. That is a proud milestone. Now the race has officially begun,” Ivanisevic talked about the competition between Djokovic and two other tennis monuments of the tennis village, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Federer owns 20 Grand Slam championships. However, the Swiss tennis player turned 39 years old, so the chance to have one more coronation at the Wimbledon, the US expanded, the French expanded and the Australian expanded was very limited.
The only opponent Djokovic had to look, it was Nadal. “Rafa will definitely win 1 Grand Slam. Maybe 2, but I hope it will be 1”, Ivanisevic said.
If Ivanisevic's predictions come true, Nadal will have 21 (or 22) Grand Slam title. To overcome the Spanish rival, Djokovic will have to win 4 (or 5) more championships at the top 4 tennis tournaments on the planet.
It seems that it is not too big for Nole, if he still maintains his current desire and performance. Even Djokovic, who broke the Federer's record for the number 1 in a row, ranked No. 1 in the world's rankings, can also aim to break the 24 -Grand Slam record of the Margaret Court.
“If I try to hold the No. 1 position, I will have to make an effort to play in the whole season. Instead, from now on I will focus mainly on winning more Grand Slam. I will make adjustments to the schedule in the near future to accomplish my goals,” Djokovic said.
