I wonder how the history books will recall Novak Djokovic in years to come? The answer is yet unwritten but today’s tennis fans are privileged to see one of the greats write a new chapter in the history books on almost every occasion that he steps on court for a major tournament. Only the third man in history to hold all four slams at the same time, after Don Budge in 1938 and the great Ron Laver in 1967, Novak has been an inspiration to me because of his unrelenting determination to be the best through his insatiable commitment to continuous improvement - whether it meant bringing in an additional coach specifically to improve his net game, hiring one the greats in Boris Becker to help him adopt the right mentality in big matches and to win the French, or upending his whole approach to nutrition and dieting by completely cutting gluten and lactose from his diet (no small feat for the Serbian kid whose parents owned a pizzeria). Coming through the ranks at a time when challenging the dominance of Federer and Nadal seemed like an impossibility, Nole found ways to compete, and then to dominate. In a similar way to his refusal to forever remain in the shadows of Federer and Nadal, winning the French Open after having lost in the final three times, Djoko continues to be the epitome of the mantra “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” I have a feeling that barring injury, in a few years the history books may have to make room for one of the popular sayings of the late and greatest of all time as well… Impossible is nothing #impossibleisnothing #congratulations #novakdjokovic #rolandgarros #frenchopen #game #games #champion #sport #sports #history #historymaker #tennis #grandslam #novakslam#dreamchaser
