Czech Tennis Star Praises Djokovic's Grand Slam Quest
Jakub Mensik, a Czech tennis player, positively slants towards the possibility of Serbian legend Novak Djokovic nailing down his 25th Grand Slam title. Though Djokovic will be cruise-lining towards his 38th birthday in May, Mensik believes the aged warrior remains a force to reckon with in the world of tennis.
Speaking with Punto de Break, Mensik remarked, "Djokovic might not sweep all four tournaments in a single season, but he surely can reign at the majors and unceasingly battle for trophies."
Mensik also admitted to considering Djokovic the greatest tennis player of all time, even if he fails to embellish his accolades further. The duo's first encounter unfolded after the junior Australian Open final in 2022, following which Djokovic kindly invited Mensik to train at his center in Belgrade. Their friendship blossomed later in Montenegro.
