The young generation of tennis stars has taken over the reins of the tennis world. The likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have hugely impressed this year. However, there is still one veteran who is aging like fine wine. It is none other than Novak Djokovic. The Serbian legend is at the top of his game at 36 and he proved this year that he is here to stay. Recently, former ATP pro, Nikolay Davydenko, revealed what makes Djokovic so special.

The Serb looked invincible this year and won 3 out of the 4 Grand Slam titles. Young players like Alcaraz had a hard time against Djokovic. Let’s find out what Davydenko had to say about the Djoker’s dominance.

Talking about this, he said, “If Djokovic gets into shape, even without playing a few tournaments, without injury, he is physically ready. It’s more important that you have enough strength for every match. And if they are, his concentration will be much higher than others. That’s why they are afraid of him.”

Further, he went on to add, “Plus, the fear remains: Djokovic also beats the younger generation with his head – they are already psychologically losing to him: “Ah, Djokovic, that’s all!” And Novak dominates thanks to this. What he does is unique. One might say, the only one like this so far.”
