"Djokovic is the best of his generation" says tennis coach Darren Cahill

Renowned tennis coach Darren Cahill believes Novak Djokovic is the best player of his generation.

Darren Cahill is a household name who has coached many tennis starts including Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Simona Halep. He also worked indirectly with Andy Murray, Ana Ivanovic, Verdasco, Hantuchova and many more. Serving as an ESPN analyst he said:

“Novak is the best of this generation. He’s broken so many records in this game, and what he’s been able to do after giving both Rafa and Roger a massive start from when Novak won his first major at the Aussie Open in 2008."

Cahill further said:

“Two of the all-time greatest (Nadal and Federer), and Novak’s been able to equal them at 20 majors. The biggest thing with Novak – we are still counting his majors. Because it will go on.”

Asked what Djokovic will do next Cahill has no doubts he will go for the Gold in Tokyo and the US Open. Those's the only events that matter according to Cahill:

“So we know where he stands, he’s gonna chase down that Olympic gold. He’ll try to do it at the US Open – win the Grand Slam.”
