Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic is once again
having another brilliant year at the highest level.
The 36-year-old, who is often regarded as the greatest
player in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, won his 24th
Grand Slam title in New York recently.
He defeated the current world number three Russia’s Daniil
Medvedev in the final of the US Open with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3.
With that performance, Djokovic ended up winning three out
of the four Grand Slams in 2023.
He lifted the Australian Open after beating Greece’s Stefanos
Tsitsipas in the final with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5).
The current world number one then went on to win the French
Open after beating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final with a score of 7–6(7–1),
6–3, 7–5.
Djokovic’s only defeat in a Grand Slam this year came in the
final at Wimbledon where he lost to Spain’s young sensation Carlos Alcaraz in a
five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
Despite such a stellar performance, the Belgrade-born can
still break as many as 13 records in the next calendar year.
He can equal most titles at Wimbledon with former world
number one Roger Federer. He can also equal the most US Open triumph with the
likes of Federer as well.
Djokovic can also become the oldest to win Wimbledon. As of
now, Federer holds the record.
Other records which Djokovic can break or equal are:
-
Oldest Grand Slam champion
-
Quadruple Career Grand Slam
-
Most Grand Slam match wins
-
Most Grand Slam appearances
-
Equaling most quarterfinal appearances in Grand
Slams
-
Equaling three title defences

-

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
