Away from Melbourne, I’ve developed strange feelings about Novak Djokovic
New York: I never really warmed to Novak Djokovic. He was the Achilles Topuk, who was up to his beloved Roger Federer. HE 2019 Wimbledon Final. For years, Melbourne swung to Park and made the whole tournament predictable. Surprisingly, and possibly unjustly, when it was banned from Australia in 2022, it meant that at least someone else had gone (a man named Rafael Nadal, passed).
But I felt a strange sensation on me when I watched Djokovic’s emergence for an enthusiastic roar from the New York crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium. I shared their efforts. I was legendary. I wanted him to win.

2025 Djokovic is not tolerable freak of 10 Australia open between the record 24 Grand Slam. Of course, it is still strangely good-good enough to do the semi-finals of each main branch so far, a year in which he celebrated his 38th birthday. But from these unique heights, now comes to the other side of the mountain.
A two -week great Islam, Carlos Alcaraz’da a 22 -year -old child or Jannik Sinner at a 24 -year -old child than trying to endure tiring enough. Djokovic acknowledged that the task could be very big for his old body.
However, on Sunday night (Monday Aest), he looked at every 20 inches when wearing an old rival-the German elimination Jan-Lennard Struff, the young people of Djokovic for three years.
Grand Islam’s success usually escaped from Struff – never passed the fourth round – but it is not a sagging; In the second round, the Denmark 11th Seed defeated Holger Rune and upset his favorite Frances Tiafoe to make a conflict with Djokovic.

Nevertheless, it did not seem to take one to the Serb, which sent Struff on flat sets within 49 minutes.
There is something about being in the existence of the real size that never gets old; Indeed, the time of the big one intensifies as the time progresses. Yes, their forces may have reached the peak, and yes, it may be breathing the stars, but there is always a last Hurray, a last possibility of a last development – and there is something that this happens.
