Brad Gilbert spoke to ESPN in the lead to the Australian Open, talking about the current situation of men’s tennis. Here is what Brad had to say to the American broadcast on Federer and Djokovic.
“Novak Djokovic still is 28 years old, he is still young, he is in the best part of his career. I believe within the next 2 years he will manage to do something incredible. Last year he dominated the tour and at the start of the season I had predicted he would win 3 Slams. Now he is a complete tennis player. He has it all and nothing is boring about his game. His backhand reminds me of the one of Andre Agassi. Now Djokovic just collects easily, like the revenue authorities. I am sure he is going to win at least 3 Slams this year too. Speaking of Roger Federer, I receive many tweets from people asking me what he can do to win another Grand Slam title. It’s incredible, people want to know everything about him. To answer the questions regarding his chances of winning a Grand Slam the answer is easy: Roger has to beat an opponent who is six years younger than him.”
