Djokovic will win ten Wimbledon titles, says father after win over Federer
Speaking to a Serbian TV, Novak Djokovic's father Srdjan commented on his 32-year-old son winning his fifth Wimbledon title. The Serbian player defeated Roger Federer in an epic five-set clash to conquer his 16th Grand Slam crown. On how it feels to triumph in the All England Club again and on the meaning of the No. 5 success, Srdjan said: "We are only halfway there. There will probably be twice as many. I want to say that even if he doesn't look at it with benevolence that such a big billboard is in front of his own restaurant, but I am proud and the majority of Serbians are proud and everybody from this region are proud of him."
Meanwhile Mats Wilander believes that in the future the Big Three will struggle against the younger guys despite the dominance they have set in the Grand Slams: “Rafa, Roger or Novak against (Grigor) Dimitrov or (Kei) Nishikori, they have great records against them, but if Rafa played Tsitsipas he would be nervous from the first point. The young guys have less respect for reputations."
On Djokovic possibly cracking Federer's 20 Slams, Wilander added: "If Novak wins (the next Majors) I mean the door will be wide open to reach 20 Grand Slams. Then if he equals Roger’s 20 he would be regarded as the greatest player of all time. If Novak had won his fourth Major in a row in the French Open, it would have been the most impressive thing we have ever seen."
