Bjorn Bjorg’s honest confession on Novak Djokovic 

Recently, tennis legend Bjorn Borg was asked about the Djokovic saga in Australia. He explained the importance of the Serb who missed the Australian Open this year. The 11-time Grand Slam winner hopes he makes the correct decision in time. 

The 65- year-old stated, “I don’t know what will happen, but for tennis, it is best for Novak to play. He is one of the top three, along with Nadal and Federer. He has to be a part of the biggest tournaments and play them. I think he still has a lot of tennis to offer us and win more big tournaments. I just hope he makes the right decision.”

Coming to tennis, Djokovic landed in Melbourne this year. However, he faced numerous difficulties upon his arrival. Sadly, at the end of the day, he left the country as he wasn’t allowed to play the ‘happy slam’.

In the long run, his chances of winning the 21st Grand Slam title were far from over. If permitted to play, Djokovic will be the prime contender at this year’s French Open as well as the Wimbledon Championships.

Last season, Novak won three out of four Grand Slam titles and displayed his ruthlessness against the likes of Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev. Reflecting on the current season, it will be interesting to see how things unfold for him. He was last spotted competing in Dubai. We wish him all the best for the remainder of the season.
