La saison 2023 fut la meilleure de la carrière de Novak Djokovic, tout en haut avec son année 2015 de tous les records, estime Patrick Mouratoglou.
L’homme aux 24 titres du Grand Chelem a remporté trois des quatre Majeurs de la saison et a atteint les quatre finales. Il a aussi poussé un peu plus loin son record en terminant l’année à la première place mondiale pour la huitième fois de sa carrière.
Dans ce nouvel épisode de L’Oeil Du Coach, Patrick Mouratoglou se penche sur l’incroyable saison de Djokovic et se demande si la renaissance de fin de carrière de Roger Federer en 2017 fut au même niveau que les accomplissements du Djoker cette année.
MOMENTS CLÉS DE L’OEIL DU COACH
0’00 – Le seul débat que les gens peuvent avoir désormais est “qui est mon joueur préféré ?”. Mais “Qui est le meilleur ?” Il n’y a plus de débat.
0’10 – 2023 est l’une des meilleures saisons de la carrière de Djokovic
0’40 – Jouer dans la même période que Roger et Rafa dit combien les accomplissements de Djokovic sont extraordinaires
1’13 – Novak 2023 est-il meilleur que Novak 2015 ?
1’47 – Les performances de Roger en 2017 tiennent-elles la comparaison avec celles de Novak en 2023 ?
02’00 – Le revers amélioré de Federer en 2017 en fit un meilleur joueur qu’avant
02’14 – A 36 ou 37 ans, Federer ne dominait pas de la manière dont Djokovic le fait en ce moment

00:00 I think the only debate people can have now is,
00:02 who's my favorite player?
00:03 This makes sense.
00:04 Who's the best?
00:05 No more debate.
00:06 I think the 2023 season of Novak
00:12 is one of the best of his career.
00:14 As good as the best ones he had in the past,
00:16 2015 for example,
00:17 which is crazy when you think about it
00:19 because there is almost 10 years between those two seasons
00:22 and he's still at the top of his game at 36 years old.
00:25 It's something unheard of.
00:27 I've never seen in the history of tennis
00:29 someone who's at the top of the game at 36
00:32 as much as he was at 26, 28.
00:34 It's a whole career of being at the top.
00:37 He had one or two difficult years,
00:39 but most of his career he's been at the top of the game.
00:42 Even though he played in the same era as Roger and Rafa,
00:46 which says even more about how an incredible
00:50 dominant player he is.
00:51 And I think the famous debate about who's the goat,
00:55 I guess it's completely dead now
00:57 after this incredible year, three more Grand Slams,
01:00 plus one final.
01:01 He has the record almost everywhere of all.
01:05 Number of Masters 1000, number of weeks number one,
01:08 number of Grand Slams,
01:10 and he's still playing and he's still at the top.
01:12 It's interesting to think,
01:14 is the Novak of 2023 a better player than the Novak of 2015?
01:18 And I think the Novak of today is better.
01:21 His game evolved, his confidence evolved,
01:23 he's played so many more matches,
01:25 he has even more height when looking at his game,
01:28 looking at his opponents, and he didn't drop physically.
01:30 If he would have dropped physically,
01:32 then probably the Novak of 2015 would have been
01:34 a better player than the Novak of 2023,
01:36 but his fitness level, I think it's the same.
01:39 He's as fast, he's as flexible,
01:41 he's as balanced when he hits his shots,
01:43 he's as resistant, so he's a better player today, yes.
01:47 I often hear that what Roger did between 2017 and 2019
01:50 is as good as what Novak is doing now,
01:52 and that Roger was a better player in 2017, 2018 than before,
01:57 but I think there is a major difference.
01:58 I think that Roger was a better player, in a way,
02:01 in 2018 than he was 10 years before,
02:03 actually for one main reason, his backhand.
02:05 He took a major decision and he started to take the ball
02:08 much earlier on the backhand side and to return flat
02:10 rather than return slice systematically.
02:13 That made a big difference.
02:14 But now, at 36, 37, Roger was not able to win
02:19 three out of four Grand Slams and be consistent
02:21 all year long and be really one step above
02:24 all the other players.
02:25 This didn't happen.
02:26 The difference is Novak is physically as good today
02:29 as he was when he was 26, and that's a huge difference
02:32 because when you are at that level physically,
02:34 you can be consistent all year long
02:36 and beat all the best players in the world
02:38 on a consistent basis.
02:40 That's a big difference.
02:41 (gentle music)
02:43 (gentle music)
02:46 (upbeat music)
