LONDON (APP) – Novak Djokovic was once in danger of becoming tennis’s great unfulfilled talent, the smiling Serb with a racquet in one hand and a sick note in the other.
A decade on, he is the super-fit king of the sport, a nine-time Grand Slam champion with the promise of more to come.
Now, where once the sport lauded the Big Four, Djokovic appears to be the last man standing as his rivals falter.
Djokovic swept to a third Wimbledon title on Sunday with victory over Roger Federer meaning eight of his nine majors have come since the start of 2011.
By contrast, Federer, the record 17-time major winner, has not won a Slam since Wimbledon three years ago.
