Novak Djokovic became the 1st man to win 23 Grand Slam titles thanks to his victory at Roland-Garros so, even at 36, he asks the question: “Why think of stopping me?”
– Where do you place this title at Roland-Garros among your 23 Grand Slams?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: “It’s obviously one of the most important. I knew going into the tournament and then going into the final that I was about to write a page of history. Of course, I can’t say that I don’t I didn’t think about the finish line, which was very close and that one last victory would allow me to win a historic trophy. And of course, when I saw that his last forehand was coming out, I felt a huge relief. was overwhelmed by fantastic emotions.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: “I will look to win Wimbledon again. I have won the last 4 Wimbledons, I feel good on grass. On grass, I plan to play only Wimbledon”, scheduled from July 3 to 16. I will go to London soon enough to train and prepare for another Grand Slam tournament,” he said.
“He still moves like a ninja on the court” enthuses Ivanisevic
– How did you go through the fortnight?
GORAN IVANISEVIC (Djokovic’s coach): “He tied us in handcuffs for 3 days… (smile) He’s not an easy person, let’s put it like that, especially when things don’t go his way. But that’s what we’re here for… We’re here to make him feel better, to perform better. Sometimes it’s very complicated. But it’s for these tournaments, these outcomes that we live. was not an easy journey, from Monte Carlo, Banja Luka… It was a little better in Rome but he was still far from his form He tortured us, but we are still here, still alive …”
– How far do you see it going and is the calendar Grand Slam becoming a goal again?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: “Now he has 23 Grand Slam titles, and it’s not over. He went to a (calendar Grand Slam) victory 2 years ago, he has a chance this year, it’s still a long way off, but the Grand Slams are our goals. I think he still has a lot in the engine. I don’t know how much time he has left, but his body is amazing, he keeps himself in great shape. He’s still moving like a ninja on the court, he’s everywhere. You think, ok, he’s got 23 now, but he’s going to find the motivation to win 24, maybe 25. Who knows where it will end?”
