Novak Djokovic’s father believes tennis still needs Nadal
Madrid: Srdjan Djokovic, father of Serbian star Novak Djokovic, has said “tennis still needs” Rafael Nadal, hoping that the Spanish icon can play “another two or three years” at a high level.
“Tennis still needs Nadal; he needs to come back,” Srdjan said in an interview with Newsweek magazine on Monday.
“I hope he can play another two or three years at a high level,” Srdjan added.
Srdjan explained that 14-time Grand Slam winner Nadal “spends a lot of energy on court”, indicating that “with this kind of style, it’s very hard to maintain a high level”, reports Efe.
Srdjan pointed out that Nadal’s playing style “is very different” from his son and Swiss legend Roger Federer.
As for his son, Srdjan considered that Nole will become the best tennis player in history, and explained that he has been reiterating his belief since his son started playing tennis, and stressed that he will be one of the history’s most successful sportsmen, with a chance to win another 10 Grand Slams.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
