After a brilliant start to 2016, Novak Djokovic lost his way last week at Wimbledon. While he was finally able to get his hands on the French Open winner’s trophy, Djokovic suffered a surprising third-round exit at the All-England Club—a result that ended his strong hopes of winning all four major titles this year.
However, Djokovic still has the perfect opportunity to grit his teeth and respond with a title at the U.S. Open.
If nothing else, Djokovic is a proven winner and he will be desperate to claim another Grand Slam title as he hunts down Roger Federer’s long-standing record. The Serb has won 12 major championships throughout his illustrious career but still sits five behind the Swiss star’s tally of 17; and Djokovic knows another U.S. Open success is imperative as he looks to build momentum ahead of a crucial 2017 season.
In the build-up to the event, Bookies.com can keep you up to date on the latest tennis news, results and odds, as well as providing promotional information— such as the William Hill free bets available on their website. Many punters will believe that Djokovic can respond immediately after his slip-up on grass and will be backing him to return to winning ways in New York in September. Despite his defeat against Sam Querrey at Wimbledon, Djokovic has tried to remain positive as he looks to further enhance his legacy in the sport.
The Serbian isn’t universally liked, but he is universally respected – and that is the true sign of a fantastic tennis player. While Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray all receive the lion’s share of the public support whenever Djokovic faces one of tennis’ other “Big Four” members, the world No. 1 deals with the criticism and relishes the chance to be the pantomime villain.
The William Hill free bets are the best free bet on offer at Bookies.com and gamblers from all over the country will be taking advantage of this particular promotion. Whether you’re a Djokovic man or a Murray fan, one thing’s for sure: the U.S. Open could be the best Grand Slam of 2016. Based on the parity that has been on display at Wimbledon, we may even get a shock result.
With even just a small dose of luck, Djokovic will emerge victorious in New York and will move to within four Grand Slam titles of Federer’s record. Who knows, that could give him the impetus to push on and win every major event next year; he is certainly capable of achieving such greatness. Djokovic is already one of the greatest players of all time and a U.S. Open victory in September would see him enhance his resume for being considered the best ever.
SHOULD he? Yes
WILL he? Who knows
I hope this article was not written by Ricky. Its cloying adulation is quite cringe worthy.
Nope Ricky didn’t write it
It was obvious to anyone who has read Ricky’s blogs that he did not write this. Not his style at all.
I think that Novak will be highly motivated to come back strong at the USO. He’s been so dominant in the last few years at slams. So this early exit at Wimbledon felt like such a shock.
The great players always bounce back from adversity. I not going to predict a win for Novak, but I will predict that he won’t suffer another early exit.
Also I agree about the adulation. The last paragraph especially.
Don’t see much to disagree with there, no? And yes,he should win the US Open. Anything less would be very disappointing.
he will bounce back in typical Novak fashion and win the US Open, losing so early would have no doubt hurt him as I still believe he beat himself with all those UFE in the fourth set especially.
Im a huge Novak fan and really don’t see him losing the US Open after his early wimby shock
No one stays at the top for ever, we will see . For sure he knows how to comeback very well . I myself want to see the new generation winning.
Sara I want the new generation too, that’s why I want milos over Murray.
I Think he will be the favorite, but i dont think hes a shoo to win the USO though, as Andy, Rafa, Kei have all beaten him there, USO is a more more open GS, and Novak hasnt dominated it the way he has the AO, personally i enjoyed W, as it opened up for someone new to get in the mix, rather than one players outright domination ….
