Former American tennis player Pam Shriver praises the Serbian World No.2 Novak Djokovic for his ability to handle the pressure in tough situations and play with the opponents mentally. She also backs the 23-time Grand Slam champion to win more titles in the coming years. These words will be boosting the Serbian and his fans who are having an off period after the heartbreaking loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final.

Pam Shriver said, “I think Novak takes a huge place in the heads of other competitors and I think he uses it beautifully. He plays the mind game during press conferences with little statements like ‘the defeat at Wimbledon is going to be hard to go through’. This means he’s not ready to hand over, he’s not ready to give space to younger players.” (H/T: We Love Tennis, translated via Google)

Despite losing the chance to go two titles up from his biggest rival Rafael Nadal in the Grand Slam titles count in Wimbledon, the Serbian star will be eying to compensate for this in the upcoming US Open in less than 2 months. Factually, the US Open is the worst slam of the Serbian considering the 6 finals he has lost here, more than any other player.

With the tournament’s best player of the last decade, having won 4 titles, Rafael Nadal’s absence will be a chance for the other top players to make their marks in this year’s tournament. With the defending champion Alcaraz and former champion Daniil Medvedev lined up for the big prize, how well the Serbian World No.2 can hold up will have to be seen.

Despite the young guns’ recent success, Novak Djokovic is still one of the top favorites to win this year’s US Open. He has been the master of coming back from tough moments like Nadal. The tennis world is looking forward to seeing it.
