2021: a legendary year for Djokovic
First of all we have to mention that Novak Djokovic is a tennis legend. But this year he has surpassed himself. He has become the second tennis player to win 9 Grand Slam titles , like Nadal. Djokovic established Rod Laver Arena at home and was proclaimed Australian Open champion.
Additionally, Djokovic won his third title of the year at Wimbledon, marking a triple draw between him, Nadal, and Federer for owning 20 Grand Slam trophies. This demonstrates the dominance that they have in world tennis because it is a historic generation.
After beating Russian Daniil Medvedev in a spectacular and far too short final, Djokovic lifted his ninth Australian Open title and his third in a row.
2021: the legendary year of farewell for Carla Suárez
Carla Suárez, the legendary female tennis player, has once again made history with her remarkable return to the women’s world circuit, putting on a series of impressive performances at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Her comeback was even more remarkable given her extended absence from the sport due to a battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
After her triumphant recovery, the Spanish tennis player made her return to the circuit, determined to bid farewell to the sport on her own terms. She represented Spain at the Olympic Games and went on to win her final professional match against Slovakia, which was one of her most memorable victories. For Suárez, this was the perfect way to bow out of tennis, and she will always be remembered for her fighting spirit and her remarkable achievements on and off the court.
One of the best matches in history
The future promise, Carlos Alcaraz
This year we have been able to see Carlos Alcaraz give a recital in each game. He demonstrated to everyone that the tennis players of his generation are several steps ahead. He was proclaimed ‘Teacher’ of the youth and is the Spanish bet on tennis for years to come.
