There is no doubt that Novak Djokovic is the most dominant Champion in Men’s Tennis history and the stats prove it. He has already won 23 Grand Slams and is on course to win his 24th at Wimbledon which is currently ongoing. Novak Djokovic is a player who is not revered on the same level as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal but he is a better all court player than them as he is the only male tennis player to have won all 4 Grand Slams 3 times and if he keeps going on like this then there is no limit.
Novak Djokovic has won more than 350 Grand Slam Matches and he has played in more than 400 Grand Slam Matches in his career. He is on course to tie Roger Federer for 8 Wimbledon titles and he has not been beaten at the Wimbledon center court in more than a decade and it is looking like he would not be beaten this year as well. Before the start of this tournament Novak Djokovic had more wins at Wimbledon than all the rest of the Top 20 Players combined.
Let’s look at the Qualities that make Novak Djokovic such a dominant champion:
He has better skills than anyone in the world
This is a fact and one has to keep in mind that he is 37 years old and at this age most of the tennis players take retirement but he is still at the peak of his powers and he is only getting better and all these young players who want to win the Grand Slams have to go through him and he still has the best skills in the sport and it shows every time he plays these Grand Slams and Novak Djokovic brings his best at the Grand Slams because he knows this Is the one that matters the most. There is a reason he has won 23 and is on course to win his 24th. The other players have to up their skill level if they want to compete with him.
He is the most mentally strong player
Novak Djokovic has a love hate relationship with the fans and the fans at the courts love to boo him and cheer for his opponent and that would mentally break any other player but for Novak Djokovic it motivates him and he wants to do better and beat their favorite player and come out victorious. The best example of that is the 2019 Wimbledon Final against Roger Federer where the entire crowd was against him yet he battled like a warrior and he won the most extraordinary tennis match and he broke the hearts of all the tennis fans that day. He even loves getting into arguments during the match and this all cannot be possible without him being as mentally strong as he is and this is something that everyone wants to have but only the rarest few can achieve.
The Hunger and Determination to win
Most players at the level of Novak Djokovic after winning as much as he has won in his career would be happy to call it a career and retire from the sport and enjoy the fruits of their labor but Novak Djokovic is built different. He at the age of 37 years wants to play the best he has ever played and the new generation of tennis players want to beat him and they think they can out run him on the court but he keeps getting fitter and faster and his Hunger to win is incredible. He has won 23 Grand Slams which is the most by a male player and the joint most by any player in the Open Era but he wants 24 and beyond and he wants to stand at the very top and for that his level of determination that is needed is just extraordinary. He is not stopping anytime soon and so the young.
