Pablo Carreno Busta will be heading to Tokyo, after having won the German Open in Hamburg a few days ago. The Spaniard will be playing his maiden Olympic Games at the age of 30. He has described Novak Djokovic as unbeatable and vouches for the Serb to win the gold in Tokyo.

Pablo spoke to the EFE agency after his win at the Hamburg Open, his second title of the year. His last title win was at Marbella earlier this year, and even that was on a clay court.

Pablo praises Novak Djokovic ahead of the Olympic Games

Pablo Carreno Busta is currently the World No. 11 in the ATP rankings and won his sixth ATP tour title in Hamburg. However, he is way behind Novak Djokovic, both in rankings as well as titles. Even though he is a predominantly senior player amongst the youngsters, Carreno will be a fresher at the Olympics.

“Djokovic is above everyone. He seems unbeatable. He is at a very high level and if there is a favorite in Tokyo it is him. But he is also the opponent to beat, the one with all the pressure behind him. I fixate on him or what he’s going to do. I have to focus on myself,” said Carreno in his interview.
