WIMBLEDON: With this 21st coronation, Djokovic relaunches the race for the Grand Slams

Novak Djokovic thus won his 21st Grand Slam title and this one is very expensive since it allows him to catch up with the “basques” of the Spaniard (22), forced for his part to withdraw in the semi-finals due to of an abdominal injury. Rafa keeps his hand and could put it to good use at the US Open if he is fully recovered and his rival is inadmissible. But that’s still a lot of “if”. On a purely mathematical level, Djokovic remains completely in the race.

At the same time, the Serb has also relegated Roger Federer, long leader of this star race but still stuck at 20 since the Australian Open 2018, and absent for a year due to a knee injury, to his mirrors. . At almost 41 years old, he has probably said goodbye for good to this race for major titles (but not for GOAT status). Moreover, these now 52 completed weeks of absence will earn him disappear from the radar of the ATP ranking on Monday. Bad day, really, for the Swiss…
