Wimbledon, Tennis, and the Novak Djokovic Phenomenon: Feliciano Lopez Doesn’t Hold Back!
Have you ever thought Novak Djokovic isn’t from this planet? Well, Feliciano Lopez, former Serbia Open finalist and winner of 35 ATP titles, says exactly that! In an exclusive interview with Kurir, Lopez breaks down why Novak is so different from the rest of the new generation of tennis stars.
A Huge Gap Between Novak and the Rest
According to Lopez, there is a massive gap between young stars like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz and the other players. Sinner and Alcaraz are, he says, physically and mentally more developed, with maturity and tennis steps that set them apart. But where does Novak fit in? Lopez claims he is miles above them! At 38 years old, Novak still beats much younger opponents while they are still struggling to reach his level.
How Does Novak Play at 38?
Imagine this – a man who is up to 15 years older than his rivals still dominating on the court! Lopez literally said Novak is not from this planet. His endurance, mental strength, and physical fitness are incredible. While other young players are still learning how to handle the pressure of big matches, Novak already has all those qualities perfectly combined.
Mental Health and the Toughness of Tennis
Lopez also openly talked about tennis players’ mental health. Tennis is, he says, one of the toughest sports in the world – physically and mentally. Players go through huge pressures, and now it’s talked about more than ever. Lopez emphasized how important it is to understand the problems athletes face because if you’re missing even one piece of the puzzle, everything can fall apart.
What About Stefanos Tsitsipas?
Lopez didn’t miss the chance to comment on the crisis one of the best players of the last decade, Stefanos Tsitsipas, is going through. Although he’s not in top form right now, Lopez believes Tsitsipas is still strong and has time to come back. With coach Goran Ivanišević, his chances to shine again on the court are high.
Conclusion: Novak is a Tennis Alien
All in all, Feliciano Lopez made it clear that Novak Djokovic is not just another tennis player. He is a phenomenon who redefined the limits of the sport. At 38, while others fall, Novak still rules. If you thought tennis was boring or that young players are the unquestioned future, think again. Novak proves age is not a barrier, just a number.
