Victory at Roland Garros ended Djokovic's title drought in an otherwise lacklustre season and came just weeks after he was thrashed by Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final and two months after he had knee surgery following the French Open. "Novak was flying, he was dancing. People forgot this was his first Olympics final, he felt this is it, he has to seize this opportunity.Croatian Ivanisevic, who helped Djokovic claim nine of his 24 Grand Slam titles before leaving his team in March, said the Serb was now the firm favourite for the U.S. Open, which begins on Aug. 26.
"I'm so glad that he finally won this gold. I wish him a 25th Slam, to break the absolute record, and then he can retire, although he'll never retire, this guy," Ivanisevic said.
