Novak Djokovic: "I wish I were 20 years younger on a tennis court. At the same time, these younger guys won't beat me easily.

15 years ago, Novak Djokovic reached the highest level of tennis ever played. In 2011, he went 6-0 against the best version of Rafa Nadal — every single match a final. Clay. Hard court. Grass. He dominated him on every surface. We'll never see anything like that again. https://t.co/mflStIL0Zs
