Evert on Djokovic's Chances of Winning a 25th Grand Slam: "I'd Be Surprised If He Manages to Win Another One"
At nearly 38 years old, Novak Djokovic is going through a rough patch, having been eliminated in the second round at Monte-Carlo and Madrid before withdrawing from Rome.
Although he has confirmed his participation in the Geneva tournament to fine-tune his preparation ahead of Roland-Garros, the Serbian has already made it clear he won’t arrive in Paris with the same ambitions as in previous years.
Chris Evert, asked by Forbes about this, believes it will be difficult for Djokovic to secure a 25th major title:
"I would never underestimate him, but let’s just say I’d be surprised if he manages to win another one. Of course, you have to give him credit. This guy has won everything, more than anyone else. I’d never say he won’t win another, but I’d be surprised.
It would be a pleasant surprise, just based on his recent results. I’ve seen him play brilliantly on grass—he’s won Wimbledon so many times—that’s why I can’t say, 'No, he won’t win another Grand Slam.' But I don’t think it will be Roland-Garros."
