“The time has come to truly appreciate this man” - Chris Evert on Novak Djokovic’s influence on the game
Former US Open champion Chris Evert had spoken about her respect for Novak Djokovic.
"I have the impression that when you watch Djokovic play, you're watching the maestro. There's no one like him."
The legendary former player also explained the influence of the Serb on other players and the game.
"Over the past 50 years, I have seen and studied all the champions of this sport. I have never seen anyone like Novak Djokovic. The combination of mental, physical, and emotion he applies to every stroke is unmatched. The time has come to truly appreciate this man," Chris Evert had said after Djokovic’s triumph at Roland Garros this year.
The World No. 2 is aiming to clinch the 24th Grand Slam title of his career. Djokovic will be facing Daniil Medvedev in the 2023 US Open final on September 10 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The Serb won against American Ben Shelton in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-7, qualifying for the US Open final
Medvedev won their last encounter in Dubai earlier this year and also in the 2021 US Open final.
