Ex-coach Marian Vajda believes Novak Djokovic is on course to 'finally' complete a historic calendar slam despite Carlos Alcaraz's monumental rise

The following paragraph discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest technology trends in today’s fast-paced digital world. With new advancements emerging every day, it’s crucial to keep yourself informed and equipped with the knowledge to thrive in your personal and professional life.

In an interview with Puntodebreak, Djokovicโ€™s former coach Marian Vajda opened up about his most successful pupil. Djokovic has had great success under Vajda, and very few would understand the Serb more than Vajda would. On Djokovicโ€™s possibility of completing a Calendar Slam, Vajda had this to say. โ€œOf course he does. He has a great opportunity at Wimbledon, and the psychological aspect would decide in the United States.

2016, a good start but failed midway. 2021 super close but eventually failed at the absolute final stage. Most would give up after that. However Novak Djokovic is not of that kind. He is cut from a different cloth and has given the calendar Slam another shot. Having won the Australian Open and the French Open he looks more than ready to ace the Calender Slam challenge.

Continuing his train of thoughts, he further added, โ€œI think the competition will be tougher there; unlike on grass, Alcaraz will be a very dangerous defender on hard, Zverev is back , Medvedev will play better, Nole will have a lot of competition in New York. This year, yes, there are no Olympic Games, so Novak will not make the same mistake twice.โ€

He clearly feels that Wimbledon will be entirely dominated by Djokovic; however, the Serb may find it tough in New York, where players like Alcaraz and Zverev would be a challenge. Djokovic failed at the US Open in 2021 and would love to change it this time around.

Can Djokovic match Federer at the 2023 Championships?

7 Wimbledonโ€™s of Pete Sampras was considered an unbreakable record. That amount of consistency on the surface wasnโ€™t seen before and people doubted that itโ€™ll ever be seen again. However a certain Roger Federer crossed the American and got 8 of his own. Again it was a record that was considered unmatched. Winning 4 Wimbledonโ€™s in a row has pushed Novak Djokovic right up there and he has 7 London trophies.

The 2023 Championships provide a solid chance of the Serb matching Federer. His success on the grass courts has been nothing short of outstanding, and he will take that confidence into the tournament this year. Having lost only one final in the eight he has played, Djokovic knows how to make deep runs at the event. He would love to breeze through the tournament without losing many sets.
