“I think that’s sad,” says Àlex Corretja im Exclusive-Interview from Eurosport. “From a distance, I would have no understanding,” clarifies the former world number two. “Maybe it would be different if I talked to him. But if I did not, from a sporting perspective, it would be bad news.”
Becker: “Djokovic’s statements made waves”
After all, the Australian Open is “one of the best opportunities” for Djokovic to win another Grand Slam title in times of increasingly stronger and younger challengers. He would therefore be “honestly surprised” if the superstar actually refrains from participating.
Djokovic: That’s why the comeback in Paris
He is the record champion in singles with five successes, the last time he won the competition in the 2019 season. “Paris is always a tricky Masters. The professionals are already a bit tired physically and mentally. The year was very long and that opened up many other players the chance to be successful, “says Corretja.
Becker admits: “Djokovic seems emotionally attacked”
“This is important for Novak. I don’t think that at some point we will add up how many weeks Federer, Nadal and Djokovic took first place in the ranking, but how often they finished a year at the top,” says Corretja. The surface in Paris, a Taraflex hard court, is “usually good” for the Serb. “It’s not that he has to make big adjustments to his game.” So a good time to get back on the tour.
