‘People Who Know Nothing’ – Annoyed by the Bizarre Opinion, Novak Djokovic’s Childhood Coach Takes Down the Tennis World for Abruptly Questioning the Serbian’s Career Longevity

Novak Djokovic is a name that has become synonymous with greatness in tennis. The Serbinator has won a total of 23 grand slams in his career and is showing no signs of slowing down. However, despite having achieved almost everything in tennis, he is not regarded by many as the greatest player of all time. Recently, Novak Djokovic’s former coach had his say on the same thing. He was furious during a debate concerning the Serb’s place in the pantheon of legends and took the opportunity to slam those who do not consider the accolades won by Novak.

Currently, the Serbian is preparing for the upcoming US Open where he will be looking to get his hands on his 24th grand slam. Having won the Cincinnati Masters recently, he will be going in with his head held high.

However, he also went ahead to remark on the immense qualities possessed by the upcoming sensation Carlos Alcaraz. Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz have produced some of the most mouth-watering finales this year, specifically at the Cincinnati Masters and the Wimbledon Championships.
