“He (Djokovic) is a different type,” Djokovic’s coach Goran Ivanisevic said. There are not many people like him in the world in terms of sport. It is one of the greatest achievements in the history of the game.’
“First of all I want to ask Novak: what are you still doing here,” Medvedev quipped.
“I don’t know when you’ll slow down,” he said. I mean my career is not bad and I have 20 titles. You have 24 Grand Slams. Wow wow.’
Medvedev beat Djokovic in the 2021 final to prevent him from becoming the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to win all four Grand Slams in the same year.
