The six-time Grand Slam doubles winner commented on Novak Djokovics dominance in the Australian Open final against. In an interview to NOL, Eltingh said: How Djokovic played against Nadal on Sunday, was scary good.
He was unstoppable and almost made no unforced errors, he was very consistent. Djokovic had a perfect balance between a winning and perfect game. But he is not an abc. Something needs to be done different physically or mentally.
Also, a guy like Tsitsipas can quickly take the ball, just like Djokovic. On Djokovic potentially breaking Roger Federers 20 Grand Slam titles record, Eltingh added: I do not think the record becomes an obsession for Djokovic.
He is a realistic and he knows that he needs to win at least two Grand Slams a year to catch him. His career is still more than good even without that record. On Djokovics future, Eltingh concluded: He needs to be willingness to keep writing history.
He needs to look at his motivation and do the job, which means training hard to stay fit, consistent. The 1987 Wimbledon champion Pat Cash believes that Djokovic deserved the right to be included on the discussion about the greatest player of all time after winning his 15th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and getting far away from Pete Sampras.
Its not a popular discussion to say, is Novak the best of them all? Its not popular. But you have got to face the facts, this guy might be the best of the lot of them. We can throw that out every time someone wins a championship that easily, but its a good conversation to have, Cash told Eurosport.
