Before facing Daniil Medvedev, Novak Djokovic was asked whether he finds it unusual that he is still doing what he is doing, against the new generation. The answer, essentially, was “No.” And, frankly, no one else should be shocked by it one bit, either.
NEW YORK — The assumption, at least by many, was that Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer would cede the stage by now and make room at the top of men’s tennis for other players to begin accumulating Grand Slam titles.
Before facing Medvedev, Djokovic was asked whether he finds it unusual that he is still doing what he is doing, against the new generation. The answer, essentially, was “No.” And, frankly, no one else should be shocked by it one bit, either. In January’s Australian Open final, Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas. In June’s French Open final, he got past Casper Ruud. Both were 24 at the time. Medvedev is 27.
“You need to reinvent yourself, because everyone else does,” said Djokovic, who won 20 of the 22 points Sunday on which he serve-and-volleyed, not his usual style. “As a 36-year-old competing with 20-year-olds, I probably have to do it more than I have ever done it.”
