Novak Djokovic has returned and is again among the best

Two years ago at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic entered the press conference hall. The champion of the previous year was eliminated in the third round by Sam Quouri and was about to make a frank confession. `There are some other things I go through in my personal life, ` he said, `I am like everyone else, we all have personal lives and challenges that we meet and need to overcome in order to developas personalities. `

According to many, the problems were family problems. There were more losses, an elbow injury and a subsequent surgery that took him out of the courts from July 2017 to January next season. There were coaching changes - Boris Becker, and then Andre Agassi, left his headquarters. The former number 1, who in May 2016 was both the winner of all the Grand Slam titles, arrived at Wimbledon this year as number 21 in the world and only three titles since the summer of 2016. Although he reachedto the finals of Roland Garros and the Queens final, no one kn ew how to perform on the All England Club. Some of his typical blows were back and his incredible revolutions against Kyle Edmund and Karen Khachanov, who strongly served, made many say `old Djokovic` has returned.




The Serb had an excellent relationship with Becker, and they remain so. During the three years in which they worked together until their separation in December 2016, Novak won six Grand Slam titles. The German confessed, however, that the last six months were a `challenge`. `When we started with Novak in 2013, I was impressed by what he wanted and how he wanted to be the best, ` says Becker. `We all know about some of the things he did - yoga, healthy eating, but I felt that his thinking was too negative, no one knew 100% why he was negative and why he was so annoyed after the games he was losing. `Becker revealed that it took six months for Djokovic to overcome`their inner demons `before the successes came, was the 25 titles i n the period when they both worked. His dominance at the top of tennis began to weaken. The beginning was the loss of Query, followed by a loss by Juan Martin Del Potro at the Olympics in Rio. There were losses from Stan Wawrinka in the US Open final and Andy Murray in the final of the ATP Finals, which left the Scot at the top of the world rankings after a little earlier had replaced Novak.

After his return this January, he stepped back to his best shape. Djokovic reached the quarter-finals of Roland Garros, but there was a loss from the Italian Marko Chekinato, who had no victory in the Grand Slam before the tournament. Perhaps the best performance of the Serb came last month on the Queens Club grass, where there was a final match against Marin Cilic.




The success of Kai Nishikori meant the first semi-final of a 2016 Slam tournament. The test against the Japanese was overcome after a strong performance. Tomorrow he has the biggest game mentioned by tennis-picks for a year and a half - a Wimbledon semi-final against world number one Rafael Nadal. He will definitely show if Djokovic really does

Thierry Ascione in front of the global media: 'Tsonga will return again strong!'

One of France`s great hopes Jo-Wilfried Tsonga missed Roland Garros due to a left knee injury. The tournament predicted by archive of tennis predictions in his home country came too early as he recovered from surgery. Tsonga has not played since February when he reached the semi-finals in Montpellier.

`He was very heavy because he wanted to play at Roland Garros.`, said the coach Thierry Ascione to the media. `The doctor told him he was too risky, too early to return to the court. The next step was Wimbledon, we will try to be ready for London. `

After the successful return of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal after injury, Ascione thinks that Tsonga can do it again. The 33-year-old tennis player, who has visited the courts to watch some of the matches, has been traumatized throughout his career.

`Yes, he will come back strong, he is different in many ways from Federer and Nadal, and Tsonga has done it before, absent four months and returning as if nothing had happened, we will try to do the same.` he said. the specialist who, apart from Tsonga, works with Elina Svitolina, the fourth woman in the world.
