“I bet on Novak Djokovic, even though Rafael Nadal is currently the leader with 21 Grand Slams. Nole is younger than both the Spaniard and Roger Federer. He has won several Grand Slams a year lately. He can play at the highest level for another three or four years because he is still motivated and in excellent physical shape. He has all the predispositions to win 25 to 30 Grand Slams,” Mouratoglou recently spoke about Djokovic. (Google Translate)

The French coach also talked about the split between Novak and Vajda. “Vajda knows Novak very well and he always worked flawlessly with him in key moments, when a Serb needed to do something great. I am surprised. I hope that Djokovic has very clear ideas about his future because otherwise, it could disrupt my predictions about the most Grand Slams,” Mouratoglou said. 

Djokovic to play in Monte-Carlo 

Novak had a horrid 2022 so far. From being deported from Australia to losing his number one ranking, to losing his coach, this has not been a good year for him. However, after a recent rule change by the French Government, Novak will play at the Monte-Carlo Masters and the French Open. The Monte-Carlo Open will start on April 10 and the French Open will start on 22nd May. 

Meanwhile, if the rumors were to be true, we could see Patrick Mouratoglou in the corner of the Serbian for the next few tournaments.
