French Open 2024: Roger Federer’s Ex-coach Sounds off on Novak Djokovic Doubters in a Resounding Message On His GOAT Legacy

Novak Djokovic continues to obliterate the competition. The tennis fans either started to be concerned or switched sides as the Serb went through a series of setbacks lately. While everyone was ready to raise their bets against him at the ongoing French Open, Nole managed to turn the tables, reminding the world of his true skill. While fans needed a better description for this, Roger Federer‘s ex-coach decided to take charge.

The crowd present at Court Philippe-Chatrier witnessed a miraculous showdown as Novak Djokovic took down his R4 rival Francisco Cerundolo in five sets. While the Argentinian managed to grab the lead by winning two consecutive sets, fans started to raise their voices against the Serb. However, Nole’s dominance came out unexpectedly as he shut the widely opened mouths with a miraculous win.

Roger Federer’s ex-coach Paul Annacone came forward to throw a warning to the ones who side against the Serb. “Sports without a script is the best drama for the viewing audience enjoy @TennisChannel @rolandgarros and bet against great at your own peril,” he said in a tweet, reflecting the confidence oozed by the Serb in his recent showdown at Roland Garros.

It has been a while since Novak Djokovic was struggling to attain a stable momentum. While he decided to take a break soon after starting this season at the Australian Open, he failed to clinch even a single title and even a notable spot in tournaments like Indian Wells and the Italian Open. As soon as this happened, fans started to side against the Serb, losing faith in his potential.

However, Nole STILL managed to rise from the ashes as he secured another five-setter victory after the late-night showdown against Lorenzo Musetti.

Novak Djokovic breaks the barrier of hate by dedicating his win to the crowd

Even Novak Djokovic is aware of the fact that Paris isn’t the ground where he’s highly preferred. Back when the tennis star secured a remarkable win over his R4 rival Francisco Cerundolo, he had nothing else to say but to thank the fans as a whole. In the post-match conversation, the Serb said, “Again a big, big, big thank you because once again like the last match, the win is your win.”

Along with that, Nole also highlighted the uneasiness in his knee that started to hinder his performance from the second set. “It did disrupt me definitely in play. For two sets, two sets and a half, I didn’t want to stay in the rally too long. Every time he would make sudden drop shots or change directions, I would not be feeling comfortable to do the running,” he added.

Despite going through a tough time physically, the fact that the Serb managed to emerge victorious gave the best response to those who confidently stood against him. As he continues to extend his lead, new hopes of ending the title drought arise.
