Goran Ivanisevic trained Novak Djokovic In half of his main titles, and he knows King Grand Slam better than most.
Croatian legend, Speaking with Sasa Ozmo in the name of clayHe says Gjokovic has a blow to win a big 25 in Wimbledon this year, and adds that the Serbian fraudster still has the game to continue challenging for more Slam devices after that.
“Here, I see his chance,” Ivankevic said. “Looking at the draw, I don’t think anyone can beat Gjokovic in front of Semis, and he has never lost to the sinner here. Ok, Australian Open and Roland Garros, but here Novak beat him twice.
“In my opinion, Novak is a favorite (against sin), no matter how sentimental sounds. Alcaraz beat it twice, but last year Novak (to Wimbledon) after knee surgery, and in 2023 we all remember how close it was. of course, experienced.
"They are young, they will play another 10 years. And they have no competition. The three big ones had each other, plus Murray, Wawrinka, Del Potro … Who is the competition for the sinner and Alcaraz?"@ozmo_sasa Goran Ivankevic interviews. 👇🏼https://t.co/dxubw4w1

Gjokovic has probably been the best player of the grass court in the sport over the last decade. He has accumulated seven titles in Wimbledon and is making offers to connect Federer to the list of single titles for men Wimbledon for all time with eight this week. Ivensvic says the 38-year-old is left in the reservoir, provided he remains inspired.
“He can play as far as LA,” Ivankevic said. Motivation is another issue – show, training – he is 38. But (in Wimbledon), he looks ready, playing well, I have the meaning he sees his opportunity. He simply has to manage the nerves.
"Sometimes this … I won’t say it “eat it”, but it affects its execution. And it’s not his last chance. He also has a blow to the US Open. In Melbourne this year, if he had not been hurt, in no way Zverev beat him, and the final with the sinner would have been interesting. “
And Ivensvic believes that at the moment, Djokovic has only two players to worry – Alcaraz and the sinner. None of the other players in the tournament holds a candle in the group at the top, he says.
“No one is really after those three, they have the tour of themselves,” he said. “Both, 15 years younger than Novak, and Novak is the only one who can still challenge and beat them. Then you have the rest.”
