Matthew McConaughey, the renowned actor and avid tennis enthusiast, has unequivocally declared Novak Djokovic as the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time) following the Serbian's remarkable comebacks at the Roland Garros.
Djokovic's relentless spirit and exceptional mental fortitude were on full display as he overcame Lorenzo Musetti in a grueling five-set marathon that concluded at 3:07 a.m. on Sunday. Just 37 hours later, he returned to the court and outlasted Francisco Cerundolo in a four-hour and 39-minute battle.
McConaughey, who has witnessed Djokovic's triumphs firsthand, including his record-tying 24th Grand Slam title at the US Open last year, hailed the world No. 1 as "more than a mental machine." The actor's admiration for Djokovic extends beyond the tennis court, as they share a personal connection through McConaughey's wife, Camila Alves.
"I'm a big fan," McConaughey said. "What a surgeon, and a warrior. The resilience of what he's done, he's amazing."
Djokovic's ability to push through adversity and emerge victorious has left an indelible mark on McConaughey. The actor believes that Djokovic's unwavering determination and mental toughness set him apart from his peers.
As Djokovic continues his pursuit of tennis history, McConaughey remains a staunch supporter, recognizing the Serbian's exceptional talent and unwavering spirit.
