“In our sport, the number of Grand Slams and week number one are, I would say, the two main goals of my career,” said Novak Djokovic.
We all (himself, Federer and Nadal) have our own paths and paths, we have unique careers, but at the same time we are living a moment that allows us to be together. He is definitely one of the best generations in the history of Tennis and I am grateful to be with these two players in this era ”, he added.
“Whenever we can play against each other, the matches are true classics. Yes Roger Federer is now injured, I hope he recovers soon and now we also have younger players, a new Grand Slam champion like Dominic Thiem.
“The 33-year-old claimed that Nadal would remain the favorite in Paris.” We know that Rafael Nadal is the favorite for Roland Garros, he has only lost two games there and an impressive record, “said Novak Djokovic.
“Thiem is also a candidate, he has already played two finals there,” said Djokovic. “When I can prepare well, I also like my options. The sand is the most challenging surface for players, both physically and mentally, on the tour, so I have to be very prepared.”
