Novak Djokovic‘s absence from the Indian Wells tournament due to vaccine requirements has caused a stir in the tennis world. However, his coach, Goran Ivanisevic, recently spoke about Djokovic’s future legacy in the sport. When asked how he thought tennis would remember Djokovic in 10 to 15 years, Ivanisevic picked on the GOAT debate to explain his feelings for the Serbian ATP legend.

Ivanisevic says that he will remember Djokovic as the greatest player of all time. Although he also acknowledged that the title of “Greatest of All Time” (G.O.A.T.) would always be subjective and depend on personal preference. However, his personal belief is that Djokovic has broken all limits and achieved unreal results. Comparing him to a character from “The Twilight Zone,” Ivanisevic stated that he often watches Djokovic in awe, amazed at what he can do on the court.

Novak Djokovic is the GOAT for Ivanisevic

The Serbian coach describes Djokovic as a great fighter who proved that anything is possible. Djokovic’s tenacity and ability to overcome obstacles have been key to his success on the court, and Ivanisevic believes that this will be a defining aspect of his legacy. When asked by the Tennis Majors, “In 10 to 15 years after his career is over, how do you think that tennis will remember Novak?,” Ivanisevic had an interesting opinion to share.

Djokovic’s place in the pantheon of tennis greats has long been a topic of debate, with many considering him to be one of the best players of all time. His record-breaking success in the sport, including winning a record number of Grand Slam titles and spending the most weeks at world number one, has cemented his place among the tennis elite.

He compares Djokovic’s story to the episodes in The Twilight Zone, a sci-fi series directed by Rod Serling. In the show, people encounter unprecedented and sometimes seemingly paranormal situations that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Djokovic is a prime example of stretching human potential to its very extreme, and achieving feats on the tennis court that might seem impossible.

Talking about this he says, “It’s like he came straight from that show The Twilight Zone: unreal results, unreal shots, unreal everything… “

Watching Djokovic play is truly a remarkable experience. And his coach sure thinks so too. “Sometimes I watch him and I don’t think it’s possible what he is doing – while I’m watching him do it. And he not only does it again but does it even better. He will be remembered as a great fighter who proved that anything is possible.”

Despite Djokovic’s recent controversy over vaccination requirements, his fans remain hopeful that he will continue to dominate the sport for years to come.
