ATP: After 20.

Roger Federer faced the most difficult phase of his career around two years ago: Novak Djokovic’s father Srdjan was also mistaken in the Swiss comeback arts.

To be honest, that Roger Federer would have won eight titles since 2017, including three Grand Slams and three Masters – no one would have thought that was possible. Novak Djokovic’s father Srdjan Djokovic was also wrong in this case.

About two years ago, the tennis expert asked the open question:”I don’t understand why he still plays tennis. Why? He’s already 34,”Djokovic told Newsweek at the time. At that time, this statement was not entirely unjustified. Son Novak dictated the tennis scene at will, won his sixth Australian Open title and was undisputedly number one in the world rankings.

Federer, on the other hand, seemed to gradually lose his place at the top of the world 24 months ago and paid tribute to his age of 34 at the time. The “Maestro” himself said that he doubted to win another major.

All of them should be wrong. Federer is back on top physical level again, dominating the scene alongside his permanent rival Rafael Nadal and is well ahead of Djokovic in the ranking. Of course, the long injury break of the “djoker” has to be taken into account. It is undoubtedly true to say that Federer has punished all his critics – including Papa Djokovic.
