One thing in advance: US tennis journalist Jon Wertheim's interview with superstar Novak Djokovic for 60 Minutes is a must-watch.
Djokovic speaks here (only 13:27 net minutes) about his mental strength (watching opponents when changing sides!), how to win even as a worse player (Wimbledon final 2019), intimidation from Rafael Nadal (in the locker room in Paris), and sometimes a lack of it Impulse control (and how to quickly get back on track), political ambitions (officially he has none) and his ambition to win everything he can after losing the Wimbledon final (with success: victories in Cincinnati, at the US Open, Masters Paris , ATP Finals Turin)...
Novak Djokovic gives the Gumby
But there is also a pictorial insight, one into Djokovic's flexibility. And that's exactly what brought the Djoker some attention. So much so that he issued a challenge to join in on X (formerly Twitter).
Djokovic presented the exercise as a “challenge for the brave,” and after trying it out on his own, it can be said: That much courage isn’t necessary - however, the hands of the writer of these lines didn’t even come close to the ground.
Children, are they flexible!
Others, however, have, because Djokovic's challenge has awakened the ambition of his followers, and the younger participants in particular have proven themselves to be true experts.
Daria Saville is doing well!
But the challenge has also reached the tennis sector and found imitators - like colleague Daria Saville...
