Novak Djokovic has captured the imagination of many people after he won his 4^th Wimbledon following a struggle that lasted 15 months.

The Serbian sensation hasn’t cheered up only his fans, but he proved to be an inspiration also for some other top sportsmen.

Why McIlroy was inspired by Djokovic

Rory McIlroy is trying to get back to his best, and he will try to claim his 2^nd Open Championship. During a recent interview, The Irishman commented

“The Open is massive, and I was very honored to win it.

Seeing Novak winning Wimbledon, he hadn’t won it in a while, and the emotion he showed after that was really cool. Golfers and tennis players are similar in the sense that they’re both trying to win four tournaments and it is a huge deal. And if you’ve won some, you really want to win more.”
