The tennis player and current Serbian Davis Cup captain, Viktor Troicki, granted an interview to Objective to analyze all the news of Serbian tennis and more specifically the image that everyone has about Novak Djokovic compared to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
– Conversation with Novak Djokovic after the Serbian lost to Aslan Karatsev at the ATP 250 Belgrade 2021:
“I couldn’t talk to him. He lost and went quickly home to his family so he could rest. We didn’t get a chance to talk.”
– Chances that Djokovic can win a new Grand Slam this year:
“I think he is a favorite in any tournament he plays. At Roland Garros it is a little more complicated because Nadal is there. The Spanish does not seem to be in a good moment even if he managed to win in Barcelona a few days ago. Back. Surely at Roland Garros the situation changes because it is his favorite tournament but behind him there are good players who also have their options. The fact that Novak has lost in two tournaments in a row means absolutely nothing, because his priority this season is on Grand Slams. I don’t know when it will be, but we might see Nole win at Wimbledon or the US Open. “
– People’s opinion of Djokovic compared to Nadal and Federer:
“We all see the enormous aversion that Nole suffers. It all started when Nadal and Federer were at the top of world tennis. Then a boy from Serbia called Djokovic appeared and began to beat them in the vast majority of tournaments. That was not true. he likes others. We all know how the situation has been in our country in recent decades, the world does not have a good image of us. That makes everyone have a somewhat wrong image of him. Novak is a man who he has good intentions, that he wants to help everyone and that he has shown on constant occasions. They are wrong with him on numerous occasions “.
– Vaccination of tennis players to be able to play tournaments:
“I do not know for sure if this will be made official or not. We do not yet know what will happen with the vaccine, how many times it will be necessary to receive it … I have not yet been vaccinated.”
