“There is a new Big 3 – with Djokovic” · tennisnet.com

The Australian double legend Paul McNamee sees a new hierarchy in men’s tennis. For him, Novak Djokovic But let’s move on to the Big 3.

After his exit from the US Open, many see the end of Novak Djokovic’s era. These are probably the same experts who spoke of the Serb’s never-ending dominance after his Wimbledon victory. Somewhere in between is Australian doubles legend Paul McNamee. The Australian, former world number 1 in doubles, still sees the Serb in the Big 3, but at the same time believes that next year could be “Nole’s” last.

In an interview with the TV channel “Sportklub”, Paul McNamee said: “There is a new big three – Djokovic, Sinner and Alcaraz.” In any case, he has the Serb at the top of his list for the upcoming Grand Slam tournaments: “I would say that Novak is still the favorite to win his eleventh title in Australia. At the US Open, Alexei Popyrin played brilliantly, but it is clear how much winning the gold medal has weighed on Novak.”

But it’s not just in his home country of Australia that MacNamee sees Djokovic ahead: “Apart from Australia, I think he’s the favorite at Wimbledon too. If he doesn’t win a Slam next year, the question of retirement will be asked. On the other hand, it’s also a very personal question. Andy Murray probably played too long, but he wanted to play. It’s a personal decision when someone retires, how it goes.
