Goran Ivanisevic believes Novak Djokovic transcends tennis and is one of the greatest in the history of sport.<\/p>\n

Djokovic won his 24th grand slam title when he beat Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev over three gruelling sets at the US Open.<\/p>\n

His Croatian coach, Ivanisevic, says Djokovic\u2019s fighting spirit and will to win make him a sporting \u201cgenius\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think you can work on that,\u201d said 2001 Wimbledon champion Ivanisevic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are born. You know, some people who are born, he\u2019s a genius. He\u2019s one of kind. There are not too many people in this world like him sport-wise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the biggest achievements in sports history. We\u2019re not talking about tennis. We are talking generally in sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a winner. He\u2019s the guy who is motivating himself. He had luck to have guys like Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, they came before him, so they pushed each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he\u2019s a born winner. For him, when you tell him he cannot do something, it\u2019s even worse. Then he\u2019s going to show you that he can do it. It\u2019s no excuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always tries to find a way to win, how to fight, even when he\u2019s not feeling well, injured, not injured.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just something I cannot say that we\u2019re all like that from the Balkans, because we are not. But he\u2019s one of a kind, and that\u2019s why he\u2019s the best.<\/p>\n

Banned from the US Open in 2022 due to Covid vaccination laws, Djokovic returned to become its oldest champion a year later.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old Serbian, back at world number one, avenged his defeat in the 2021 final against Medvedev.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI guess people love comeback stories. I love them too. They motivate me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t played any tournament on American soil for two years, and the last time I was here I lost in the finals against the same player I beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Djokovic has now won seven of the last 10 grand slams he has competed in despite the emergence of the likes of Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to reinvent yourself, because everyone else does,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a 36-year-old competing with 20-year-olds I probably have to do it more than I have ever done it in order to keep my body in shape, in order to be able to recover so that I can perform on the highest level consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n
