Mcilroy was quick to share his excitement for the event, and, in particular, for the opportunity to accomplish what he called “one of the biggest achievements in the game”.
What achievement is it? Winning a Ryder Away cup. As Mcilroy noted in his comments, there is a reason that the “local team” has won the Ryder Cup for 10 years straight. As Mcilroy sees, the local team has a great advantage, some of which are connected to the fans.
“The local team has a big advantage from setting up a golf course on how partisan the crowd is,” Mcilroy said on Wednesday. “So yes, I think Europeans have a wonderful opportunity this year to achieve something very, very special, but it will also be very difficult.”
He went on: “They will have a very annoying crowd on their side and on a golf course that many know very well from previous tours there. So don’t do wrong, we know we are against it and we know we have a long task in our hands.”
Mcilroy’s experience seeing the open tennis tour in the US, however, gave him inspiration from someone who has excelled in the largest stages when the crowd is against him: Djokovic. Mcilroy caught one of Gjokovic’s last matches on TV and removed some lessons.

“I think all we can do is control our response and our reaction to him. I saw a little from Novak Djokovic last night playing in his match against Taylor Fritz,” Mcilroy explained. “It was a very pro-American crowd. He has been the best in handling this kind-he had to deal with all his life, whether he is playing against an American in New York or playing against Roger or Rafa.”
And Excel Gjokovic has. Gjokovic holds All -time record for most tennis Grand Slam wins with 24. He has also spent more time as the Rangut No.1 player in the world than anyone else in tennis history.
Although he is now 38 years old and ranks No. 7, Gjokovic is putting another show this week at US Open, which he won four times. He is one of the four remaining players by men competing in Saturday’s semifinal.

But it turns out that Gjokovic has not only helped the European team with his example, he has also advised them directly.
Gjokovic participated in the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome and even played in the famous Ryder Cup before the tour began.
At one point in that week in Marco Simone, Djokovic gave the European team some tips on the treatment of brave Fans of Ryder Cup, as Mcilroy discovered on Wednesday.
“He came and talked a little about those things for the last time in Rome,” Mcilroy said. “So maybe taking a leaf from his book and channeling that energy in the right way, but again, all we can do is control our reaction and our emotions to him. I think the less we play in it, the better it is for us.”
Safa is sure to say that Gjokovic’s conversation worked. The European team dominated the Americans in Rome 16.5-11.5 to win the Ryder Cup.
Gjokovic continues his attempt for a fifth open US title Saturday with his semi -final match against Carlos Alcaraz (another golf nut) on 3 afternoon.
