"I don't think so": Flink on Djokovic's chances of being as dominant at Australian Open as Nadal at French Open
ATP
Tennis journalist Steve Flink doesn't think Novak Djokovic will be able to win as many Australian Open trophies as Nadal did with Roland Garros(14).
Novak Djokovic has been utterly dominant at the Australian Open and it's likely he might win more than the 10 he already has. But winning 14, which is how many times Nadal won the Roland Garros seems unlikely. It seems rather impossible according to journalist Steve Flink who doesn't see it happening:
"I don't think so and I am an ardent admirer of Djokovic. I can see him getting a couple more. I don't see four more at this stage of his career, no, that would be astounding. Yet, it wouldn't shock me to see a couple more. So, I don't see the other four happening."
He could also see Nadal extending his winning streak at Roland Garros to 15:
"Then, we have the other question, can Rafa get No. 15 at Roland Garros? Well that's gonna depend so much on his health because Djokovic was dealing with a very aggravating and worrisome injury, but when you talk about a hamstring, it's not the same thing Rafa's had."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
