Djokovic may feel he has a point to prove following a changing of the guard moment in men's tennis when he suffered a marathon Wimbledon final loss to young prodigy Alcaraz, but Konta thinks otherwise.
"They brought in something new and Novak can't claim that, but he's one of the main reasons why the game is where it is now by pushing it physically. It's incredible but I think it sucks for him. Southpaw Robson, who won the Junior Wimbledon title at the age of 14, admits it was nice to see Djokovic shed a few tears on Centre Court, which turned to cheers in Cincinnati on Sunday.
"And maybe he might be almost a bit more of an underdog in New York and the New York fans love to get behind anyone who's not winning, basically. So maybe things will come round for him. I can't really see a reason to not like him, or at least to not enjoy his tennis and and accept that actually, he is the best in the world.
