Pennetta: "Djokovic still thinks he can win a 25th Grand Slam"
Djokovic, 38 years old, still driven by a historic obsession
Novak Djokovic is not ready to leave the stage. Quite the opposite.
At an age where many legends have already hung up their racket, the Serbian champion harbors an almost unreal goal: to add, at 38, a 25th Major to an already monumental career.
A strong choice: Djokovic surrounds himself to push his limits even further
Aware that every detail now counts, Djokovic has made a major strategic decision: to integrate Dr. Mark Kovacs, one of the world's greatest experts in human performance applied to tennis, into his team.
The goal is clear: optimize his body, extend his longevity, and maximize his chances in key moments.
Flavia Pennetta's statement
Former US Open champion and keen observer of the circuit, Flavia Pennetta knows Djokovic well. And her analysis is as follows:
"I think Novak is still convinced that he can beat Sinner and Alcaraz and, consequently, that he can win a 25th Grand Slam.
For my part, I went through an era of crazy players, like Fabio, who had to face Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal.
And paradoxically, it took me time to understand that my peak was coming at the end."
His mentality, his experience, and his understanding of the game could still allow him to shake up the hierarchy. And Alcaraz and Sinner are warned: the king has not yet abdicated.
