Congratulations to Novak Djokovic after his impressive success at the Australian Open in team strength. Above all, the man who enjoys legendary status in tennis circles like no other: Rod Laver.
There is no question that the now 15-time major winner from Serbia intends to enter into a long-term relationship with “Norman”.
In any case, the younger generation can only learn from Novak Djokovic. Denis Shapovalov experienced this in the third round of the Australian Open. The Canadian will learn from it. And is not in line to congratulate his conqueror.
From the older guard it was Yevgeny Kafelnikov, who had just been elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, who showed respect.
Pat Cash, who lost a legendary Australian Open final against Mats Wilander in 1988, also congratulated. And already look into the future.
The official wishes came from tournament director Craig Tiley.
And a lady who really knows what great tennis looks like could hardly believe what she saw in Melbourne on Sunday.
