He said, “I have the theory that the rivalries with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray drove him to top performances. I have always said that Djokovic will lose motivation once there is no more constant competition with Nadal and Federer and he has won 23 Grand Slam titles”

According to his theory, the reason why Novak has lost his motivation to get better is because now his top rivals won’t be challenging him for titles, and that is why he has no reason to improve or continue to get better.
Bresnik further explains how this might work in favor of Carlos
As per Bresnik, Novak does not have any motivation to get better, but Carlos does. Carlos does not have the same number of Grand Slams to his name and no pressure to be the best. All he does is play freely, which is why he can easily play against the more experienced ones.
