Renowned tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg recently shared his analysis of Novak Djokovic’s performance at the Olympics. In an exclusive interview with ES, the renowned journalist highlighted the unexpected struggles that Djokovic had to face in Tokyo, saying, “Yeah, that Tokyo did not expect him to collapse in that tournament the way he did.”
Along with mentioning the specific situation in Tokyo, he also emphasized the two times that the Serb finished in fourth position, saying, “He’s coming fourth in the Olympics twice. So that kind of shows that he’s just, yeah, not at his best in these medal rounds; it’s a different kind of pressure for sure.”
The journalist suggested that if there was a reason to be marked, it might be his performance in these high-stakes Olympic matches. However, Novak Djokovic recently revealed his determination for this year’s Olympics, and it seems to outshine any verdict against him.
