John McEnroe believes Novak Djokovic will miss out on the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, but thinks the Serbian will bounce back at the US Open.
“This is my personal opinion, he [Djokovic] is going to lose at the Olympics. It’s all best-of-three [until the gold medal match] and it’s tough to get back up that fast,” McEnroe told the BBC.
“Maybe someone will surprise him and and then it will wake him up for the US Open and he’ll win it all – which will be monumental. [Roger] Federer or [Rafael] Nadal haven’t done it [the calendar Grand Slam] either.
“It’s been 50-odd years since Rod Laver did it in 1969. Novak did hold all four in a row at one stage [from Wimbledon 2015 to Roland Garros 2016].
“I’ll take that any day of the week along with any other player. This is crazy that he’s been this consistently good and arguably better than ever at this age.”
