Forget: "I can't see Djokovic playing several weeks losing matches like Nadal did".
Guy Forget, former ATP world No. 4 and Roland Garros director, has his say on Novak Djokovic.
The Serb ended the 2024 season without winning a Grand Slam, a first since 2017.
Forget told Tennis Actu: "I think Novak is motivated by records.
Reaching a height that has never been climbed. With one or two more Grand Slams, it will be Everest.
That's all he trains for. He loves the Australian Open. A player never wants to lose, it's painful. I have every confidence in Novak to keep that spirit.
On the other hand, if he's diminished physically, if he loses to players who seem beneath him, I don't know if he'll enjoy playing for long.
I can't see Novak playing for several weeks, losing matches like Nadal did."
Djokovic approaches the 2025 season with a new collaboration with Andy Murray, hoping it can help him perform well in Australia.
