Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis ace, is under fire again from the British Guardian, which brutally slammed him in a piece by Kevin Mitchell. After beating Dan Evans in the second round, Djokovic made some on-court remarks that the Guardian twisted to paint a grim picture. Instead of asking about his chances, they’re now asking how much longer he can keep playing at this level. Is this just a question or a death sentence?
The Guardian recalls years of dominance but also moments when Novak cried over the support he received, like in the final against Daniil Medvedev. Now, fans and journalists see a different Djokovic — tired, maybe nearing the end of his career. Last year, he played the Wimbledon final just weeks after knee surgery, but now his body seems to be sending warning signs.
Quotes from Andy Roddick, who said Novak first takes your legs, then your soul, now sound like a warning that the end might be near. Still, Djokovic is known for his stubbornness and instincts that never leave him. His opponent on Saturday will be fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanović, whom Djokovic has beaten 8 out of 13 times on Wimbledon’s Centre Court. Will he confirm his dominance or will a new challenger rise?
The Guardian’s analysis isn’t just criticism; it’s a reminder of how great a champion Novak has been and how dangerous he still is. But the question remains — how much longer can he endure? Is this the beginning of the end or just another phase in the career of one of tennis’s greatest ever?
