Former Serena Williams coach talked about this year’s Roland Garros, a clay-court tournament where Novak Djokovic is defending the title, but the “King of clay” is Rafael Nadal.
- “Roland Garros will be the most open in the last 10-15 years. However, if Djokovic achieves many victories on clay before Roland Garros, it will not be so open. When he is at his maximum, Nole is the best in the world, even on clay. I know it sounds strange to say that when you look at Rafa’s titles at Roland Garros (13), but if you look at the numbers, Novak defeated Rafa many times on clay. “- Patrick Mouratoglou began.
- “If they meet again at the end of the tournament, last year’s match will surely be in their heads. Rafa will be tense, and Novak will be much more aggressive because he will enter the match with more confidence. “
- “Will Djokovic win everything until Rafa returns? That would change the situation because it would fill Djokovic with self-confidence. However, it will not be easy for him, since he does not have matches in his legs. ” – concluded Mouratoglou.
We will watch Roland Garros from May 22.
