His coach, Goran Ivanisevic, digs into his assertion and tries to elucidate the secrets and techniques that lead the Balkan document man to stay so extremely aggressive: “Novak trains even harder than when he was 22 years old. That’s why he’s still so good and that’s why he’s showing that he’s still the best.
The will to train, to improve, to be the best is absurd. He is taking care of his body. In my time, tennis players stopped at 30, 31 years old. At that age you were already old. But now it’s amazing. Look at Roger a couple of years ago, look at Rafa.”
Then the coach continued: “The young players are coming up. It’s great for tennis. We have the youngest number 1 in the world and he has done incredible things this year, Carlos Alcaraz. But he looks at Novak, he is still hungry, he is still winning tournaments, he plays fantastic tennis.”

Roger pushing the envelope, Nadal pushing Roger after which Novak coming to type of ‘spoil the party’. If Novak had not been allowed [to play unvaccinated], the historical past of our recreation would have develop into fully irrelevant. The numbers of Grand Slams would have develop into fully irrelevant if Novak wasn’t in a position to play anymore.”
