A renowned coach thinks “nobody who knows anything about tennis” will focus on Novak Djokovic missing out on the Olympic gold if he wins the Calendar Slam.
Darren Cahill – coach of two-time major winner Simona Halep – believes Djokovic winning the US Open to complete the Grand Slam would be a “monumental achievement”.
The Australian – who works as an analyst for ESPN – was ranked as high as No. 22 in singles, as well as being a top 10 doubles player.
World number one Djokovic failed to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics – but could become just the second man in the Open Era to win all four majors in a year.
“If Novak wins the [Calendar] Grand Slam, nobody will say but… nobody who knows anything about tennis,” Cahill wrote in a Twitter post.
