Ivan Ljubicic could get himself into trouble after his recent statements, although the Croatian has tried to clarify them in every possible way. Ivan says that winning seven Grand Slams in this era is easier than it was thirty years ago, pointing out that today the benchmark is no longer Sampras' 14 but Djokovic's 24. Let's read his words in Tennis World Italia and then judge for ourselves.

"What Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal have achieved, winning 20 or more Grand Slams, might make it easier today to win seven at 22. Back then, Pete Sampras was the reference point, so when he reached 14 we said to ourselves, 'I have to do it.' Now the goal is different, the target is 25, so it's still far off. From a mental point of view, you tell yourself, 'Okay, 7 is not an incredible number because I have to reach 25.' It would be very different to win 7 with the goal of reaching 10. In my opinion, mentally it's easier to win seven Grand Slams now, compared to Borg who won seven when he was very young," evaluated the former World No. 3.
