Novak Djokovic 'can beat anyone' at French Open - Caroline Wozniacki and Boris Becker on legend's chances of 'comeback' triumph at Roland-Garros

At 38 years old, Novak Djokovic could be said to be in the twilight of his illustrious tennis career. The former world No. 1 is still battling at the top of the sport, though, and TNT Sports expert Caroline Wozniacki believes he could still win the 2025 French Open. However, she thinks that the 24-time Grand Slam winner will need to be at his absolute best to get over the line.

TNT Sports expert Caroline Wozniacki insists 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic is still "a force to be reckoned with" at the 2025 French Open, if he can stay fully fit.

The 38-year-old Serbian star reached the third round of the tournament on Thursday with a 6-3 6-2 7-6(1) victory against France's Corentin Moutet.

The former world No. 1 will now take on world No. 153 Filip Misolic in a David and Goliath encounter, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Djokovic will be the heavy favourite against his Austrian opponent, and Wozniacki believes Djokovic still has what it takes to reach the pinnacle of the sport.

"I think it's so impressive," said the 2018 Australian Open winner. "Obviously, he is so good, but it's so impressive how he's able to set himself up and really peak at what's most important to him.

"Last year, though, [he] was trying to win a gold medal at the Olympics. I don't think anyone thought that that was actually going to happen.

"He played one great tournament for him, and that was at the Olympics, and then he kind of took the rest of the year and relaxed a little bit more.

"This year, he could have won Australia if he hadn't gotten hurt. And I think this year, all of a sudden, he came from no form to coming into form winning last week, and you can't write him off.

"I mean, he has 24 Grand Slam titles for a reason. I think if he can stay healthy throughout these two weeks, he's a force to be reckoned with, and I think he has a great draw."

Djokovic is hoping to come out on top at Roland-Garros for the fourth time in his illustrious career.

Djokovic's first Grand Slam triumph came at the 2008 Australian Open, and Wozniacki believes his experience under the spotlight could be the difference against his younger rivals.

"I think because of the experience, because he's been there so many times, I think he definitely has the chance to win," added Wozniacki.

"I believe that he can beat anyone when he's playing his best tennis.

"Now, if he's not 100%, I don't think he has a chance, but if he's 100%, if his body feels great, I have no doubt that he can beat anyone on the other side."

Meanwhile, fellow TNT Sports expert Boris Becker, who used to coach Djokovic, believes that his former charge is now "making a small comeback" just at the right time.

"He hasn’t played particularly well this year by his standards," he said.

"Now, he’s making a small comeback with his sixth win in a row. 10 years ago, he would’ve beaten him [Misolic] in two hours.

"If it had gone to a fourth set, I would have been worried - but as it is, it’s okay for him today."
