PODCAST - More History For Djokovic

ATP Media
About this episode

JILL CRAYBAS ON MORE HISTORY FOR NOVAK DJOKOVIC - ‘It’s amazing when you start talking about all those numbers because you almost can’t wrap your brain around what he’s achieved. I just feel like every time he steps on the court he’s breaking records and I just don’t know how he finds something consistently deep in himself to do it over and over again, it’s just incredible’.


JILL CRAYBAS ON DANIIL MEDVEDEV - ‘He’s had a great tournament. He said on the court that if Djokovic, Nadal and Federer weren’t there he’d have more titles and Djokovic said that he’ll get more and I agree with him, I think Medvedev will get at least a couple more, if not more than that’.


JILL CRAYBAS ON BEN SHELTON - ‘He’s so electric on the court, he’s got a big game, huge serve, huge forehand, but to be able to tie it all together and have that consistency throughout the two weeks is a great sign for him’.


JILL CRAYBAS ON CARLOS ALCARAZ’S MATURITY - ‘He’s not afraid to show his vulnerability, which I think is huge because that for me is how he has been able to get over some of the losses that he has had and be able to back it up very quickly. Roland Garros was a great example admitting that the pressure and stress got to him, cramping against Djokovic and then what does he go and do, beat Djokovic in five sets at Wimbledon’.


RAJEEV RAM ON BEING THE FIRST THREE-TIME SUCCESSIVE CHAMPIONS SINCE 1912 - ‘I was told in press that that was the last time that that happened. I just knew that it hadn’t happened in the Open era, someone said that, but yes, 1912 is a long time ago’.


JILL CRAYBAS ON COCO GAUFF WINNING THE WOMEN’S SINGLES TITLE - ‘It was amazing to watch, Coco did a great job of digging in, relying on her speed and really defending but hitting shots to make Sabalenka go for more and by the end of the match she was just playing with confidence. She’s such a great role model, she just gets it and she thanked Billie Jean King on the court when she received the cheque she said that that was because of her and I thought that was a great moment’.
