Heinz Gunthardt believes that Novak Djokovic will win 3-4 more Grand Slam titles

He turned 36 on May 22, but he’s increasingly giving the impression that he’s like wine. Novak Djokovic has an enviable physical shape, a great thirst for trophies and a fantastic ambition to break as many tennis records as possible.

In an interview with Tennis Magazin, Heinz Günthardt talks about modern tennis, the new generation, and also about the “immortal” Nole.

Speaking about the successful career of the Serb, Gunthardt believes that with Djokovic’s current physical and mental form, he can win three more, or even four, Grand Slam tournaments.

“Yes, I really think he can win three or even four more Grand Slams (not until he retires from the sport),” Gunthardt told the quoted source.

Who is Heinz Gunthardt?

Heinz Günthardt, former tennis player and coach, was born on February 8, 1959.

His highest finish was 22nd as a player and he won 5 ATP titles in his career.

He earned $1,550,007 in prize money in tennis alone, and his best Grand Slam finishes were the quarterfinals at Wimbledon (1985) and the US Open (also 1985).
