Jimmy Connors made a significant announcement regarding Novak Djokovic’s Olympic victory.
Jimmy Connors recently discussed Novak Djokovic’s Olympic victory over Carlos Alcaraz in his podcast, Advantage Connors. The former American tennis star highlighted the significance of the gold medal for Djokovic, noting that it represents the pinnacle of an already remarkable career. Connors remarked that the gold medal is as valuable to Djokovic as his first Wimbledon or US Open titles, as it completes his collection of major achievements.
Connors also praised the high level of tennis displayed during Djokovic’s three-hour match, which he described as an impressive demonstration of skill.
With the Olympic gold now secured, Djokovic will take a well-deserved break before aiming for his 25th Grand Slam title at the US Open. Although Djokovic has not won any ATP titles this year—a first in 19 years—he is likely to view this year positively due to his long-sought Olympic gold medal. Despite some lingering physical issues after meniscus surgery, Djokovic finally achieved this goal in Paris.
Following his Olympic success, Djokovic will miss the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati but is expected to return for the US Open, where he will defend his title and strive to continue his streak of six consecutive seasons with at least one Grand Slam win.
