‘Novak Djokovic’s professionalism is second to none’, says top coach

on

The renowned French coach, Patrick Mouratoglou believes that the world of sport is experiencing its most fruitful decade in terms of producing champions in their respective disciplines. Tennis fans have been able to admire (and continue to do so) legends such as Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams (who was coached in the past by the coach and TV commentator). The Swiss Master and The Queen, so affectionately nicknamed, have written important pages and are considered by many to be the best of all time. Serena Williams is the player with the most Grand Slam titles of the Open Era, and she retired last year with 23 Major titles. Federer also announced his retirement last year, bidding farewell to the world of tennis with 20 Grand Slam titles, behind only the Serbian and the Spaniard. Others, however, are still active, such as ‘Nole’ and ‘Rafa’, who are fighting for the all-time record for Slams (both have 22) and are fighting with Federer for the GOAT scepter. Djokovic recently won his 10th Australian Open and is a candidate for the most decorated of all time. Nadal, for his part, will try to enforce the law of clay with his incredible record at Roland Garros: 14 titles at the Philippe Chatrier in Paris. On the other hand, LeBron James has recently surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and has become the best player in NBA history. Lewis Hamilton holds the F1 record for most Drivers’ World Championship titles (tied with Michael Schumacher, with seven), while Tiger Woods has the most PGA Tour wins in golf history and the second-most of major championships.

Cahill reflects on Djokovic

Speaking on The Big Deal – Australian Sports Business Podcast, Cahill spoke highly of Novak Djokovic’s ability to find weaknesses in his opponent’s game. “I actually heard Andrea Petkovic describe Novak as being like water because you can sort of get it but you can’t really hold on to it,” Cahill said. “And I reckon that’s a really good way of describing Novak because he finds a way to get through every crack and every crevice to break down the opponent’s game and find weaknesses. And his movement and his professionalism is second to none.
