‘They Are Afraid’ – 36YO Novak Djokovic’s Dominance Over Hungry Youngsters Explained in a Brutally Honest Take

The young generation of tennis stars has taken over the reins of the tennis world. The likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have hugely impressed this year. However, there is still one veteran who is aging like fine wine. It is none other than Novak Djokovic. The Serbian legend is at the top of his game at 36 and he proved this year that he is here to stay. Recently, former ATP pro, Nikolay Davydenko, revealed what makes Djokovic so special.

The Serb looked invincible this year and won 3 out of the 4 Grand Slam titles. Young players like Alcaraz had a hard time against Djokovic. Let’s find out what Davydenko had to say about the Djoker’s dominance.

Nikolay Davydenko gets candid about the domination of Novak Djokovic

Earlier this month, the former Russian tennis star was involved in an interview with Championat. During the interview, he talked about various subjects, like Djokovic’s Olympic chances and the upcoming talent in his home country. Further, he also analyzed why Djokovic is far superior to the young tennis stars.

Talking about this, he said, “If Djokovic gets into shape, even without playing a few tournaments, without injury, he is physically ready. It’s more important that you have enough strength for every match. And if they are, his concentration will be much higher than others. That’s why they are afraid of him.”

Further, he went on to add, “Plus, the fear remains: Djokovic also beats the younger generation with his head – they are already psychologically losing to him: “Ah, Djokovic, that’s all!” And Novak dominates thanks to this. What he does is unique. One might say, the only one like this so far.”

Earlier this year, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in the Wimbledon Championships final. However, the Serb took revenge and defeated Alcaraz in Cincinnati and the ATP Finals. As a result, Alcaraz made a brutally honest revelation about Djokovic.

Talking about how often he thought about Djokovic, Alcaraz said, “Hahaha, Almost in every practice (chuckles), I’m not going to lie. I practice with a goal. I go to the tournaments with a goal. It’s.. trying to end the year as a World No.1. Ah.. Novak Djokovic is around my mind almost in every practice.” 

It won’t be a surprise if Djokovic continues his domination next year. Although repeating this year’s heroics will be a challenge given his age, Djokovic is in top form right now. Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see how the 2024 tennis season pans out.
