Novak Djokovic has mental edge over his opponents, says tennis coach
In an interview the tennis coach Radmilo Armenulic commented on Novak Djokovic's US Open chances. Armenulic said: "Despite he lost in Cincinnati, I think Nole has a big mental edge over his rivals, so there is nothing to get worried about. He only needs to be well prepared and everything will go well. For Novak, all the big champions, destiny is about retaining titles, not winning them. Our country sees everything but the title as a loss. It should not be like this at all. Instead, reaching the final is a good result. Reaching the semifinals and final is a success. Then of course I want him to win. He could face Wawrinka, Medvedev, Federer, Nadal. But Djokovic is used to tough draws. After all, if you want to win, you have to beat anyone. And Novak is well aware of it. Novak is my top favorite, then Rafael Nadal. I do not think the younger players can triumph."
"For Janko Tipsarevic, it will be his last Grand Slam run in career. I think the choice of retiring in the end of the season is correct because he is no longer able to play at his highest level due to injuries."
Meanwhile the famous actor Gerard Butler spoke of his admiration for Djokovic: "He is a good friend of mine. I never played tennis, I just started playing tennis again after many years", said Butler, who celebrated with the Serb after his 2015 US Open final win over the Swiss Roger Federer.
