Bjorn Borg believes that between both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the Serbian would be able to win more Grand Slam titles. Also, he believes that Novak Djokovic can prolong his career and can play for few more years.

The Swedish tennis legend in an interview with EuroSport talked about the chances of the last vestiges of The Big Three. After Roger Federer‘s retirement in 2022, the speculations are high of retirement of both the players since as both the players are in the twilight of their careers. However, till now the Serbian has been able to defy logic with his splendid performance this season.

“Novak [Djokovic], I think he might win one or two more Grand Slam tournaments. Who knows? But he is doing it not for himself but for tennis and journalists. Unbelievable. He’s still pushing the limits. He wants to be the greatest. He wants to win more tournaments, break all the records in tennis history. I mean, he is a fantastic player,” he said.

Novak Djokovic’s greatest rival Rafael Nadal is for now trying to recover from a nasty hip injury which resurfaced during his stint in the Australian Open. He will be missing out on the sunshine doubles because of this reason. It is expected that he will return to the clay swing of the season.

Bjorn Borg thinks that the Spaniard does not have much time in his career left. He also thinks that he wants to continue playing but his body may be impending him.

“I think Rafa [Nadal], like you said, he’s not going to be in the top 10 for so many years now. But I think he’s a very happy guy. I mean, what he achieved in tennis, he will still want to continue to play. Maybe the body is not working 100%, but he still wants to play,” he said.

However, he also thinks that Rafael Nadal can push himself for one more year.

“But to have these guys involved with tennis, you never know what Rafa is going to do, maybe play one more year. I don’t know. It is up to him mentally or his body or whatever. But Novak is going to be around for a few more years,” he continued.
