Tracy
Austin shared her thoughts on Novak Djokovic's incredible year and his ability
to continue breaking records at the age of 36.
Djokovic's
2023 was extraordinary and one of the most successful in his career, boasting a
remarkable 27-1 record in Grand Slams. He clinched victory in three of them,
falling short only in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz. Additionally,
Djokovic triumphed at the ATP Finals and finished the season as the undisputed
world No. 1. American former world No. 1 Tracy Austin recently commented on the
Serbian's outstanding year in an interview with Tennis.com:
“What an
incredible 2023 Novak Djokovic had. To win three majors in his age-36 year
shows that his hunger to excel never lets up. Novak is always looking to make
those one-percent improvements: everything from diet, to agility, to strokes
like his serve and forehand volleys,” the 2-times Grand Slam champion said.
“He’s set
new records in men's tennis: 24 Grand Slam singles titles, and eight times
finishing the year No. 1 in the world. Those are big achievements that might be
unreachable,” she added.
Austin also
emphasized the significance of performing well in crucial moments and noted
that during those instances, Djokovic just locks down and plays at his absolute
best level:
“Novak
played six tiebreakers—55 total points at Roland Garros. Not once on those 55
points did he make an unforced error! As we know, in tennis, some points are
bigger than others. And when it’s most important, Novak just locks down. He's
at the stage now where he’s competing not just versus his opponents, but also
against history,” Tracy Austin concluded.
'Nole'
concluded the year with a record of 56-7, securing seven titles and earning
$15,936,097 in prize money. The Serbian finished the year as the world No. 1
for the 8th time, an absolute record in tennis history. Djokovic also clinched
his 7th ATP Finals title, solidifying his status as the tournament's all-time
leading winner.
