MCKINRO SPOKE ABOUT NOVAK, RAFA AND ALKARAS: “An era is coming to an end”! – ATP, Tennis Sports news

The American believes that Djokovic is not respected nearly as much as it should be

One of the best American tennis player of all time, John McEnroehe spoke in an interview for Spanish „Mark” about current affairs from the world of “white sports” and about the upcoming one Roland Garros.

Mekinro first referred to Rafael Nadalwho has not yet recovered from his injury at the beginning of the year and the big question is when we will see him on the field again.

– When he was there, he was only talked about as a favorite. Now there are eight who can win. It is true that Djokovic celebrated twice. Ideally, Rafa would be playing at a high level and someone had to show that they are better than him in such circumstances. That’s what people wanted to see – He said Mekinro.

– I wouldn’t dare say that he won’t be able to win at Roland Garros again after everything he did there. As long as you play, you have the option. He reminds me of LeBron James, who continues to show that he is a great player, but at the end of the game it all starts to cost him. There are too many expectations from him, he is already old. That will happen to Nadal as well, the most is always expected from him. Let’s see what happens, he turns 38 next year.

John if nothing gives Novak it will not be in the half of the draw where it is Carlos Alkaras.

– I think he will face it in the same way, knowing that there are many more tennis players who can win the trophy. He will have rivals like Alkaras, Rune… Medvedev is playing well, he won in Rome. The draw will also be important. I guess Novak will not be in Alcaraz’s half. It’s all the more interesting due to the fact that Medvedev arrives as number two.

When asked whether Djokovic can in these years until the eventual calendar slam, American points out that such options always exist.

– There are options of course. His challenge is to be the best in history and win more Grand Slam titles than anyone else. He seems to be the only one who is ready to break more records. In the last year and a half, he had both beautiful and complicated moments.

However, like the vast majority of analysts and players, both former and current, Mekinro claims that Alkaras the man everyone is chasing.

– Alkaras first, then Djokovic. We are at the end of an era and other players like Carlos, Rune are coming. The Spaniard has shown that he is ready, the others from the younger generation are not yet.

– It’s hard to say, but Alkaras is new, the one who brought freshness, electrified tennis. He has such a personality that everyone wants him to win. He is 20 years old and has already become an ambassador of our sport. Djokovic was not given the respect he deserves. You can agree with him or not – he concluded Mekinro.
