Toni Nadal has poured cold water on Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon win which took him to 20 Grand Slam wins level with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Rafael Nadal’s uncle pours cold water on Novak Djokovic achievement with US Open warning.

 

Novak Djokovic isn’t playing at the same level as he was back in 2011 or 2015 despite him winning his 20th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. That’s according to Toni Nadal who believes the Serbian is one step ahead of the next generation of players though.

Nadal thinks the real test will be when his nephew returns to action and competes with Djokovic at the US Open.

The Serbian is now level on 20 Grand Slam titles with Nadal and Roger Federer as the debate over who the greatest of all-time goes on.

Djokovic swatted aside the challenge of Matteo Berrettini despite the Italian’s brief second set comeback to underline his dominance.

But Toni Nadal believes the Serb’s level is not quite where it was previously.

Nadal told El Pais: “I think that Djokovic’s current level is not the same as in 2011 or 2015, but it has been shown that the Serbian is still one step ahead of the new generation of players.

“He has beaten three of those emerging tennis players in the last three Grand Slam finals.

“Let’s remember that he also beat Daniil Medvedev at the Australian Open.

“But this victory at Wimbledon goes to prove something else.

“The Balkan seems to be, at the moment, the one with the best momentum to proclaim himself the winner in the fight to score the highest number of Grand Slams.

“In a month and a half the US Open will be played and there he will have his first chance to get ahead on the scoreboard.

“Although it is also true that Rafael will fight for his, and if I have never lost something, it is my unshakable faith in him.”

Djokovic could make history this year if he wins the Olympics and the US Open to complete a calendar Grand Slam.

That’s after the Serbian has already captured the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon with dominant displays.

Djokovic would also move ahead of Nadal and Federer in career Grand Slams won to underline his credentials as the greatest ever if he was to win in New York later this year.
