James Blake claims Djokovic will go down as the greatest champion of all time
ATPFriday, 28 January 2022 at 07:00
Retired American tennis player James Blake believes Novak Djokovic still has a lot of years of tennis left in him, which could see the Serbian go down as the greatest champion ever.
Blake is currently enjoying his new role as the ATP Miami Masters tournament director, and the former World No.4 stated he would love to have Djokovic return to Miami this year and compete for his sixth title at the event.
"We’d love to have him, he’s one of the greatest champions we’ve ever had in the sport,” Blake told the Miami Herald.
“I believe he will go down as the greatest champion. He still got quite a few more years of being at or near the top of the game. It’s a matter of him figuring out how to navigate this time, the protocols, what’s safe, what isn’t safe?”
Speaking on the Djokovic visa debacle, Blake said the situation in Australia was "handled poorly on all fronts". The American hopes for a clear transparency and communication between federal and local governments and tennis officials leading up to the Miami event.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
