Unfazed by the Rise of Next Gen, Novak Djokovic Vows to ‘Kick Their B**ts’ as He Refuses to Accept Their Dominance

Possibly the world’s best athlete, Novak Djokovic excels in every tennis match he plays. Even against the best, he has a style of winning that does not leave his opponent satisfied. By admonishing the upcoming generation of athletes that he would keep trying to be at the top, he has sent a defiant message.

Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev are young tennis stars who have already won the prestigious Grand Slam title and climbed to the top of the world rankings. The Serbian Grand Slam champion is motivated ample to play the up-and-coming players as long as he can.

Novak Djokovic is roused and willing to bash young stars

Djokovic will be competing in Paris-Bercy for his penultimate tournament of the 2022 season. Due to his ineligibility for vaccination in some nations, the world No. 7 wasn’t allowed to compete as frequently as he would have preferred this year. However, he hopes to finish powerfully in Paris and at the ATP Finals in Turin.

Alcaraz had elegantly won the US Open while Djokovic was deported from the country, making him the youngest world No. 1 in ATP history. The 35-year-old has been absent from the tour for several extended periods this year. The Serb has now issued a warning to young tennis stars as they continue to rise to the top.

In a recent interview, Djokovic was quoted as, “So I think it is good that there are some new faces, but I will not give up.”

The year 2022 for Djokovic was incredibly complicated and distinct from the others in his career. The covid-19 vaccine refusal by the Serbian champion has prevented him from competing in even half the tournaments that were open to him.

The forced Serbian further added,” I will make sure I kick their bu*ts for as long as I possibly can! They will kick my bu*t sometimes maybe, but hopefully, less than I kick theirs.”

Cressy has won just two of his last seven games since the US Open. The American has displayed some remarkable serves and volleys this year. Yet, there is no doubt it will be tough to beat Djokovic. Djokovic and Cressy will compete for the first time, with the Serb probably coming out on top. What do you think?
