Djokovic talks about Serena Williams: "It doesn't matter if she wins or loses, what she does is epic"

The return of Serena Williams continues to spark admiration throughout the tennis world. The American, who has returned to competition after several years away from the circuit and after becoming a mother for the second time, received an emotional acknowledgment from Novak Djokovic during an interview with CBS Mornings. Djokovic wanted to highlight the tremendous effort it takes to return to the elite under these circumstances and made it clear that the results are, in this case, secondary.

Both are part of the small group of players who have marked an era in this sport. Together, they have won 48 Grand Slam titles and have dominated the circuit for over two decades, making Djokovic's words carry a special significance. Djokovic explained that simply seeing Serena compete again is a reason for celebration for any tennis fan, regardless of how far she may advance in tournaments.

"What she is doing after having two children and so many years away from professional tennis is a gift", Djokovic declared, emphasizing the continuing impact that the American has on the sport.

For the Olympic champion, the score is entirely secondary. "It doesn't matter if she wins or loses. It's already something epic. I told her the same personally at Wimbledon, and that's exactly how I feel," he stated, also revealing that he was able to convey this message to her during the London Grand Slam.

Djokovic also admitted to feeling a connection with Serena. Both continue to find motivation to stay engaged in competition after achieving virtually all possible goals. "Just seeing her on a court is a spectacle for the eyes. I hope she can enjoy and be happy playing," concluded the Serbian, leaving one of the most emotional reflections of the interview.
