Toni Nadal discards Djokovic's Wimbledon win: "Current level is not the same as 2011 or 2015"

Toni Nadal doesn't believe that Novak Djokovic is playing as well as he has previously despite his recent Wimbledon win.

Djokovic recently tied up with 20 Grand Slam titles alongside Federer and Nadal but for the uncle of the great Spaniard, he believes he is ahead of the next generation but not at his best.

“I think that Djokovic's current level is not the same as in 2011 or 2015, but it has been shown that the Serbian is still one step ahead of the new generation of players," said Nadal to El Pais.

“He has beaten three of those emerging tennis players in the last three Grand Slam finals.

“Let's remember that he also beat Daniil Medvedev at the Australian Open.

“But this victory at Wimbledon goes to prove something else.

“The Balkan seems to be, at the moment, the one with the best momentum to proclaim himself the winner in the fight to score the highest number of Grand Slams.

“In a month and a half the US Open will be played and there he will have his first chance to get ahead on the scoreboard.

But he has sent a warning shot ahead of Nadal's return to action at the US Open that he won't get his calendar slam easily.

“Although it is also true that Rafael will fight for his, and if I have never lost something, it is my unshakable faith in him.”
