Novak Djokovic is a professional tennis player who is currently competing in the Wimbledon singles tournament. He is hoping to win his 25th Grand Slam singles trophy, which would be a historic achievement. However, his fellow player Nick Kyrgios believes that Djokovic may be nearing the end of his career, as he faces tough competition from up-and-coming players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
In his recent match against Alex de Minaur, Djokovic struggled with a breathing problem and even had to take breaks to do breathing exercises. He later explained that this was due to the long and intense rallies during the match. Kyrgios, in an interview with TNT Sports, expressed his belief that Djokovic is "on his last legs" and that there has been a "changing of the guard" in the world of tennis. He thinks that Alcaraz and Sinner will be the dominant players in the sport for the next decade or so.
It has been almost two years since Djokovic last won a Grand Slam title, which was at the 2023 US Open. This tied him with tennis legend Margaret Court for the most Grand Slam singles titles in history. However, he was unable to win any major tournaments in 2024 and has yet to win one this year. Meanwhile, Alcaraz and Sinner have been making waves and dominating the sport.
Kyrgios acknowledges that Djokovic is still an incredible player and can compete at the highest level, but he is unsure how much longer he will be able to do so. He believes that the younger players like Alcaraz and Sinner will be the ones to carry the sport for the next 10-15 years. He also mentions the departure of other tennis greats like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and how the sport is now in the hands of the younger generation.
Sinner, the current world number one, also speaks highly of his rivalry with Alcaraz, describing it as "special." He compares it to his matches against Djokovic and Nadal, saying that beating these top players takes a lot of skill and determination. He also expresses his excitement to be a part of the upcoming generation of tennis stars and the high-level competition that they bring to the sport.
