Novak Djokovic expressed his thanks and gratitude at the 2025 French Open for their unflagging support from fans, while Janik Sinner overshadowed Djokovic’s final appearance, ending any hope he might have of winning his 25th Grand Slam crown and shifting focus onto Wimbledon with speculations regarding what might lie in store for their final remaining member of tennis’ Big 3 (Djokovic is out after this tournament).
Highly respected coach Patrick Mouratoglou recently offered his insights on Novak Djokovic’s current form and prospects at Wimbledon through social media posts. According to Mouratoglou, while Djokovic is physically and skill-wise prepared, his limited playback this year could prove detrimental – though Mouratoglou emphasized his abilities should not be discounted.
Mouratoglou also delved into the psychological aspects of Djokovic’s game, suggesting that the Serbian might have shown an uncharacteristic acceptance of Sinner’s dominance during their match. According to Mouratoglou, Djokovic’s mental drive, which was once fueled by his desire to outshine contemporaries Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, appears to be waning.
This perspective is echoed by former professional tennis player Luke Saville, who noted a visible shift in Djokovic’s belief in his capability to challenge the top players. Despite Djokovic’s historical achievements and previously unparalleled confidence, there seems to be a newfound realization regarding his competitive edge.
However, not all share this viewpoint. Some within the tennis community remain optimistic about Djokovic’s prospects at Wimbledon, citing his adaptable game style suited for grass courts and his proven track record of excelling under pressure. Personalities like Jack Sock and former coach Rick Macci express confidence in Djokovic’s potential for success at Wimbledon, highlighting his exceptional skill set and experience on grass surfaces.
Even amid uncertainty and criticisms directed towards Djokovic’s abilities, several tennis legends and experts continue to have faith in his ability. Figures such as Jimmy Connors and Andy Roddick have expressed confidence in Djokovic claiming another Grand Slam crown and have pointed towards his legendary status and resilience as key factors of potential success.
As Wimbledon nears, opinions among tennis experts and critics remain divided regarding Novak Djokovic. Some question his current form and motivation while others believe he remains formidable on court. Will Djokovic manage to silence critics or is this really just another turning point in his illustrious career? Anticipation increases as Wimbledon approaches, leaving both fans and critics alike anxiously waiting to witness what transpires at Wimbledon this year.
