Novak Djokovic considers the Wimbledon win a ‘confidence booster’ as he glances upon his controversial 2022 season

Novak Djokovic has had a tough year with missing major tournaments over his unvaccinated status despite being one of the greatest players of all time. His only Grand Slam win came at the Wimbledon Championship where he remains undefeated for 4 years. Despite all the struggles, he considers his win at Wimbledon a huge relief and boosted his morale.

The former World No 1 hit a major setback in his career when he was deported from Australia even after entering the country with a valid exemption that was later withdrawn. He further faced a three-year visa ban as per the rules laid down by the Australian government. Being absent from two Grand Slam tournaments, he found a substantial drop in his rankings.

The 21-time Grand Slam champion returned to action after a break of a few months at the Paris Masters since he was not allowed to participate in the North American swing. He reflected on his struggles and challenges throughout the year. He expressed his happiness with the end result at Wimbledon amid all the challenges as he felt it was quite needed at that time.

During an interview, he stated that he has put all his struggles behind him and looks forward to the coming challenges. Djokovic said that “It is behind me now. I feel like in the last four months I have been truly myself on the court. Results show that…for me to win Wimbledon, it was a huge relief.“

He further revealed that he will make sure to beat the next generation of stars as much as he can.

The record 9-time Australian Open champion has cruised into the Round of 16 at the ongoing 2022 Paris Masters in Bercy. He looks seamless with his performances after winning the ATP titles in Tel Aviv and Astana. He has even qualified for the Year-end championships despite being out of the Top-8 ATP rankings.
