In recent weeks, Mats Wilander has been the focus of media attention for his statements about Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, suggesting that he thinks they are better than the Big 3. This time, the now Eurosport commentator talks about Novak Djokovic and how the Serbian elevated his level to surpass Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in terms of dominance on the circuit. What he has said has not left anyone indifferent.
The Swede believes that, in terms of titles and achievements, Rafa and Roger should not pose any threat and places the Serbian at a higher level than all of them. “I think Novak is in a position where Federer and Nadal don't concern him. He has surpassed them in Grand Slam victories and in every important record. I don't think they are a threat to him. Not now, I don’t think so,” Wilander began saying on Eurosport.
“I think Novak has told us all: 'Hey, I want to keep playing because these guys, Alcaraz, Sinner, and the rest, are very good and they push me to be better and better and better. Maybe he's not as good as he used to be, but he brings out the best he has each day and is able to do that even after a knee operation,'” he continues.
Djokovic and his spirit of overcoming and sacrifice
“Novak has lived through the storm. He is younger than Roger and Rafa. He has outlasted them all. He is the male tennis player who has won the most ever. I think he must feel very proud. Novak is the one who has felt the impact of the Big 2 the most, more than anyone else. He must feel very good. The Djokovic effect is clear when it comes to physicality among all players today,” he concluded.
