Andy Murray on Novak Djokovic: "But what a changing of the guard…"

Three Slams won out of four: Novak Djokovic è went one step away from the Grand Slam again this season, confirming that his reign è far from over and the passing of the baton with Carlos Alcaraz and the Next Gen does not seem to have happened yet.

"It is up to the young guys to push Novak and try to surpass him. It doesn’t look like thatò is close to happening,‖ said Andy Murray in a BBC interview.

Novak è an incredible player for a long time, like Roger and Rafa. Longevity è è has been one of the keys to their success. Novak è s longevity has been the biggest. He has been playing at this level now for soì so long".

According to Murray Djokovic è anything but declining: "I don’t think he will stopà at 24 titles. Alcaraz è an extraordinary player, è brilliant, but doing what Novak is doing, with the consistency with which he is doing it, è different. I don’t think New York will be the ’last time Djokovic will win a Slam".

"After Wimbledon everyone was saying there was going to be a changing of the guard, but that was not the case for me,” Murray assured. “It was pretty clear that Novak had won the first two Slams and was very, very close in the Wimbledon final. In the Us Open final he proved once again that he is the best player in the world and, as I said, it is up to the young guys to improve enough to catch him".
