Nikola Pilić interviewed with Kurir, a daily tabloid newspaper in Belgrade, Serbia. He talked about the 24-time grand slam champion as he won his seventh ATP Finals title. Pilić has persistently called Novak Djokovic the GOAT. Moreover, he said that he will keep on chanting it as he continues to beat the best youngsters in tennis.

He also said, “Of the 20 or 21 tournaments Djokovic plays a year, five or six tournaments he plays in sixth gear, and when he plays like that, it doesn’t matter who’s on the other side. Djokovic has shown that he is still above Alcaraz and Sinner, primarily because of his mental strength and self-confidence.

He further talked about the records he had created with Rafa and called them unbeatable. “I keep saying that there are two records that in my view of tennis are unattainable, namely Nadal’s 14 titles at Roland Garros and Novak’s 400 weeks in first place, which will be 410 until the Australian Open. I’ve been watching tennis for 65 years and it’s a record for all time.”

Nikola Pilić takes down the tennis world for absurd take

Ever since he entered his 30s, the tennis world has speculated about Djokovic’s longevity. The debate heats up with each passing moment, even as the Djoker continues to win titles left and right. Despite praise from his contemporaries the incessant discussion annoyed his childhood coach as he spoke out for his former student. Pilić said that the people who write him off before the match even begins don’t know anything about tennis. 

Despite the 24-time grand slam champion constantly proving he is the best in the business, tennis followers often pass him off as the likely winner. Pilić couldn’t control his temper at the constant questioning and lashed out. The tennis world will continue to question his abilities as he goes on, but the Serbinator is not set to lose traction anytime soon.
