“I think it touched his ego, and he came back really strong and finally won the title that he was chasing his whole career, which was a gold medal at the Olympics to complete his collection of trophies.”
Mouratoglou, who also coached rising star Holger Rune, now wants to see Djokovic form rivalries with younger players to keep him going for the next few years. “So what’s going to happen now in the future? He’s in great shape, he plays unbelievable tennis. He’s ready to compete, I think, two, three, four years at the highest level,” he added.
“But he needed this competition between him and Roger and Rafa to be the greatest. The only confrontation he can have now is probably Carlos and Jannik pushing him, beating him, him feeling his ego touched and wanting to show that he’s still great.”
