Diego Schwartzman believes a changing of the guard is inevitable due to Roger Federer’s and Rafael Nadal’s injuries, but believes Novak Djokovic is still operating close to his best.
Neither Federer or Nadal reached a Major final in 2021 after missing majority of the season through injury, however Djokovic won three Major titles before being denied calendar Grand Slam in US Open final by Daniil Medvedev.
Schwartzman claimed it is ‘logical’ for their reign to come to an end, the 29-year-old believes it was ‘illogical’ how big three kept winning everything.
“It could be and it is logical that it will happen (end of the dominance of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal),” Schwartzman said. “Perhaps the illogical thing was that every year we asked ourselves how long they were going to keep on winning everything.”
