Wimbledon 2024 Semi Final Live updates: 2021: Tennis legend Leander Paes said, "So, does Djokovic have a chance? 100 per cent. He's now the reigning GOAT (Greatest of All Time) of all time. He's won more Grand Slams than anybody else can, or anyone else has, rather. In that, I feel like experience-wise and playing at the big stages, Djokovic is one of the best in the game."

"So, I think the men's game of tennis is just... looking so healthy and looking so amazing, even after Federer's retirement, even after Nadal, you know, playing his last couple of tournaments, even with Djokovic and a knee injury, I still think Djokovic has a couple more grand slams wins in him. But to see the younger generation of Medvedev, (Jannik) Sinner, Alcaraz, (Alexander) Zverev, (Frances) Tiafoe, the few of the American guys are coming in. I think it's just fantastic," he added.
