"I do not even know how he does it," said former Spanish tennis player Alex Korca. "It was a difficult year for him. He overtook Roger and chased Rafa again, so the race is still open. I think it will be very interesting for the sport. It is good that Novak continues to win and win titles because he is such a professional."

Korca went on to say: "I can not even believe it. We all thought that Pete Sampras' 14 Grand Slam titles were something no one would get to. They had already passed the 20th and now Novak is chasing Rafa again. I think it is. Interesting, especially if they both stay healthy.We're all waiting for Roger too, of course, but right now we're going to the US Championships without knowing if Novak will play.

He does not seem to be playing.

But he is now in good shape, won another Grand Slam tournament and is now waiting to see what happens in New York.

I think it's amazing to win Wimbledon seven times.

It's not real and he is a very special player. "

Former Swedish tennis player Mats Willander added: "For Novak it doesn't matter if he is number one in the world or seventh. For him, what matters is the Wimbledon and Grand Slam titles and being the best in history."

On Kirius, Willander said: "It will be interesting to have a fly on the wall when Nick recovers. He will not have many regrets. It could be that this loss will actually be good for him because he will motivate him to continue. He knows he can win a Grand Slam, he was so close. "It's fun to watch him play and when he behaves like he did in the final, it is not considered 'normal' for us, but Nick please stay healthy and continue to give everything."

Referring to Kirius, Korca said: "I think he is now learning how to be himself, but at the same time also to be a good tennis player. In a few weeks, he will understand and be fully motivated to continue to grow, and if he is a little more consistent, it will be hard to beat him here "

Novak Djokovic's coach and former tennis player Goran Ivanisevic (who won Wimbledon in 2001) said: "It's very exciting. A crappy year, a tough year. "For me, he was the favorite, but you still have to win. He won his 21st title and he deserves it."

On the game itself, the former tennis player said: "You can't prepare for Kirius, he's a genius. We concentrated on what Novak has to do. Kirius is unpredictable and has the best refusal in the world, easily. When Marian (Waida, Djokovic's former coach) was here he was "It's easier for me because now I have 100% of the pressure and not 50%. Some people would not continue to play tennis at all if they had to go through what Novak went through in Australia. It's heroic. I never doubted, you do not doubt such people."

Ahead of the rest of the year and the chances of Djokovic playing in the United States Championship, Ivanisevic said: "I'm going on leave now, I do not know how long. Maybe Biden will change his mind."

The general himself said at the press conference: "I am bursting with happiness and joy. I felt support and love from the crowd and I am grateful for that. I had a hard time reading Kirius' submission, both the first and the second. He put a lot of pressure on you. It was frustrating sometimes to see the balls "Flying next to me, but I was steady from the back line. My serve stood by my side even though the second serve could have been better."

The Serb pointed to a turning point in the game: "The momentum changed in my break in the third set. I felt he did not move as well in the fourth set as he had moved until then. The keys to victory. "

On last year, Djokovic said: "I did not feel good in the first months of the year, both mentally and emotionally. I realized I needed to be patient. The Wimbledon degrees came at significant moments in my life and career, like in 2018 after elbow surgery."

Towards the end of the year the Serb said: "I am on holiday in the coming weeks and then I hope to get good news from the United States. I would be very happy to play there. If that does not happen, I will have to rethink my competition schedule."
