Viktor Troicki’s observation about Novak Djokovic being more relaxed at the Paris Olympics compared to Tokyo is interesting. Djokovic, who has solidified his status as one of the greatest tennis players ever, with 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, seems to be in a different mindset this time around. In Tokyo, Djokovic was under immense pressure, especially as he was chasing the elusive Golden Slam (winning all four majors and Olympic gold in the same year). The pressure and expectations might have contributed to his struggles in Tokyo.
In contrast, the Paris Olympics might present a different atmosphere for Djokovic. With his legendary status firmly established and the burden of the Golden Slam no longer a factor, he could be approaching this Olympic campaign with a more relaxed and focused mindset. This could be beneficial for him, potentially enhancing his performance.
Troicki’s comments reflect a deeper understanding of Djokovic’s journey and the evolution of his mental approach to major tournaments.
