Dmitry Tursunov lavished praise on Novak Djokovic and believes the Serbian star is the "most motivated" player on the Atp Tour.
Djokovic, 36, has remained in peak physical shape, something Tursunov asserts has a massive impact on how he performs on the court. Testament to Djokovic's dedication and longevity, he is the oldest player in the world's Top 20.
Speaking on Championat, the former Atp World No. 20 opined that it would be difficult for the rest of the tour to beat Djokovic regularly if he remained in top-notch physical shape.
"No matter how many contenders there are, as long as Novak is in good shape, it will be very difficult to beat him. After all, in addition to his experience, he also has very good physical shape."
Djokovic did not have any major physical issues with his body throughout 2023, and he was able to pick and choose which tournaments to play based on their status and priority.

Former Atp player Dmitry Tursunov came under fire for his coaching methods that has impacted the physical well-being of some Wta players.
In response to a fan comment on YouTube, Natalia Zabiiako, the girlfriend of Wta star Daria Kasatkina , revealed her reasons why Kasatkina will not consider the services of Dmitry Tursunov, a renowned coach at Wta level and former Atp pro who achieved a career-high ranking of number 20.
Tursunov has forged a successful coaching career since his premature retirement in 2017 due to injuries. The curly-haired Russian worked with current Wta number two Aryna Sabalenka and is credited for turning the Belarusian into a world beater back in the early phase of her career before they split in 2019.
Tursunov then coached Anett Kontaveit in the summer of 2021 and steered her to a career-best ranking of number two in the world last year. But their partnership ended at the start of June last season.

New York, Aug 28 (Ians) Emma Raducanu played down injury concerns on the eve of the US Open after the defending champion suffered discomfort during practice on Friday.
Raducanu enjoyed a meteoric rise at Flushing Meadows last year, becoming the first qualifier to win a grand slam as she claimed an unexpected victory in New York, reports Dpa.
