"He keeps rewriting the records, even his own": Andre Agassi lauds Novak Djokovic's continued brilliance
ATPWednesday, 17 January 2024 at 03:30
Former world number one Andre Agassi has heaped praise on legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic for continuously delivering big performances at the highest level.
The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles.
Agassi was recently quoted in a report where he heaped praise on Djokovic and stated that it is nice to see a player who keeps ‘rewriting records’.

"He keeps rewriting all the records, even his own," said the eight-time Grand Slam winner about Djokovic. “Here he is, 36, and it looks to me like he’s going on 31. He’ll have a few more years as well."
Agassi further went on to reveal that he exchanged a few words with Djokovic and stated that only he can do what he has done in the recent past.
"Yeah there was a little bit of [an exchange]," said Agassi. "He hit a return and I was encouraging him to do more of it. Finally... he needed to be away from me for a few years.
“Sweet words [he said about me]. He’s a good man and it was nice to see him after the match as well. It’s always a pleasure to watch him at his craft. Only he can do it the way he does it and it’s a pleasure for all of us to see it happening. Hopefully he’ll stick around for a while.”
Djokovic started the Australian Open with a rather hard-fought win against Croatia’s Dino Prizmic with a score of 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4. He will now face Australia’s Alexei Popyrin in the second round of the competition on Wednesday.
