NEW YORK — Despite winning an Olympic gold medal, Novak Djokovic is far from satisfied as the U.S. Open approaches. The 37-year-old Serbian has made waves in the tennis world with a record-breaking 24 Grand Slam titles and a total of 99 titles. He expresses a strong determination to continue his dominance on the court.
The tournament in Flushing Meadows, which begins on Monday, offers Djokovic the chance to achieve his 25th major singles title, a feat no man or woman has accomplished in tennis before. As the defending champion, he also has the opportunity to be the first man to win consecutive titles at the U.S. Open since Roger Federer dominated the event from 2004 to 2008.
Carlos Alcaraz, the 21-year-old player who already holds four major titles, looks up to Djokovic and hopes to follow in his footsteps. Djokovic’s discipline and relentless pursuit of excellence have left a significant impression on Alcaraz and other players.
Djokovic has not played since defeating Alcaraz in an intense final at the Olympic Games. The emotional significance of the gold medal and the Serbian national anthem will always resonate with him.
Now, the focus shifts to the U.S. Open, where Djokovic has won the title four times and aims to make it five. He shows no signs of slowing down, despite being in his first season since 2017 without a major title.
As the U.S. Open approaches, there is no doubt that Djokovic will give his all to secure another triumph and cement his place in tennis history.
