"They're not going to revert to the mentality": 'Unbeatable' Novak Djokovic mindset to Next Generation could be over says Andy Roddick

The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in the history of the men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career.

Roddick was recently quoted in a report where he suggested that once the younger players will have the self-confidence to beat Djokovic, they will never revert.

"He [Djokovic] kind of limped out of this Australian Open a little bit, you know, through no fault of his own, the guy’s been better than anyone on Earth, and it's gonna happen,” he said.
"But I'm a little concerned… one, he's not getting younger when it turns, it turns quickly also, he has guys that can punch him in the mouth, you know, he has this new generation that once they know they can beat him, they're not going to revert to the mentality that there's no way to beat him.”

Djokovic’s journey at the Australian Open 2024 came to an end in the semifinal after he lost to Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3.
