Roddick praises Djokovic: "Winning the Olympics in this way is more impressive than if he had won two Grand Slams in 2024"

Novak Djokovic's 2024 season was marked by his gold medal in singles at the Paris Olympics, the only major title missing from his immense list of achievements.

All this just a few weeks after undergoing knee surgery following a fall against Cerundolo at Roland-Garros. After losing out to Ruud in the quarter-finals of the Paris Grand Slam, the Serb came back stronger than ever.

In his podcast, Andy Roddick looks back at the highlights of Djokovic's last year.

"We talk about the best male player in the history of tennis, Novak Djokovic, who finished the year ranked 7th in the world, but it's not necessary to talk about his ranking, only his performances last year are enough.

He made it all the way to the Wimbledon final on one leg. Fools like me thought he wouldn't have time to play the tournament, and he fought for the title.

Once again, he personified what greatness is in this sport. The fact that he won the Olympic Games at Roland-Garros, on his worst surface, in this way and without losing a single set, is one of the greatest feats I've ever seen in tennis.

He said before he played that this was the tournament that meant the most to him, and he proved it on the court. For me, that's even more impressive than if he'd won two Grand Slams in 2024", Roddick added. said Roddick.
