An absolute record and a historic performance, since this is the twenty-second crown in Grand Chelem of Majorquin, who now has two advance units on his eternal rivals, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, all two retainers of twenty titles. If it seems too complicated to see Switzerland return to equality or surpass “Rafa” in view of his very advanced age (40 years), the Serbian, still at a very high level of play despite his 35 years, still seems to be on the verge of returning to the height of the Spanish. Cependant, le Djoker recently increased or stupidly increased several opportunities to win a Major.

If he still seems to be able to win new tournaments of the Grand Chelemthe question is to know if Djokovic (20 wins) succeed to equalize Rafael Nadal (22). Paolo Bertoluccia former professional tennisman who has graded up to the twelfth world rank, is persuaded that the sergeant will cut his fingers if he does not achieve this goal: “Between his disqualification at the US Open and then the vaccine problem.
