Novak Djokovic reveals who will win the US Open
The Serbian champion, sensationally eliminated in the 3rd round, has indicated who – in his opinion – can win the New York Major
Following his loss to Carlos Alcaraz yesterday, Novak Djokovic also leaves the stage too soon at the US Open after being unexpectedly upset by Alexei Popyrin, an Australian tennis player who has been
playing well lately. The Serbian champion’s schedule was altered by the
Olympics, and he has dedicated all of his efforts to winning the gold medal that he
has sought throughout his career. Nevertheless, given the Wimbledon final
and Carlitos’s elimination, Nole had an extremely rare opportunity to win his 25th Major.
However, the Serb has never seemed in condition and far – physically and mentally – from the champion we
admired at the Paris Olympics. The 24-time Slam champion collapsed in the
first two sets, tried to react but finally gave in and, after an immeasurable
amount of time, exited in the first week of a Grand Slam tournament.
During the press conference that followed the match, Nole discussed the remainder of the tournament, his favorite player for the championship, and his analysis of the loss. He also commended his opponent. “Popyrin defeated me fairly; if he plays well and serves like he did, he can defeat anybody. With Alcaraz out, this tournament has featured a lot of unexpected events thus far. The Serbian champion said, “Jannik Sinner is the current favorite, but there are also some strong competitors in Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz who could surprise, as well as Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov.
Curiously, Nole did not mention Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev, the two tennis players who, due to their ranking and results, are the big favorites together with the Italian tennis player. In any case, Jannik is working hard in view of today’s match, where he will face O’Connell. The Italian has a draw that has opened up but that will probably see him opposed in the Quarterfinals against Daniil Medvedev, without forgetting the possible clash in the Round of 16 against the American Tommy Paul.
Put simply, it’s a draw that is anything but straightforward for Sinner, who will
find it difficult to secure the ultimate triumph. Although the fight is still in its
early stages and the goal of a second Slam is present, it is more intense than
ever. It’s also important to note that Djokovic did not win a Slam by the end
of the season, which hasn’t happened in a long time.
