Former Britain’s number one Tim Henman believes that Serbia’s
legendary tennis star can win more Grand Slams after achieving yet another
milestone in his career. The 37-year-old is already regarded as the greatest player
in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand
Slam titles in his illustrious career.
Djokovic recently participated in the Paris Olympics, where he won the gold medal for his country after beating Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the singles category final in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6. With that win,
the Belgrade-born star finally completed his trophy cabinet, and he was clearly
emotional after achieving something he never did in his career.

With that triumph, there have been rumours about the possible
retirement of Djokovic in the near future as he has finally achieved something
that was missing from his trophy cabinet. The former world number one also
admitted recently that he has found it hard to motivate himself for
events other than Grand Slams and Olympics.
However, former British number one Henman was recently
quoted in a report where he backed Djokovic to win more major events in the
future. The 49-year-old was of the opinion that since the Serbian tennis star
can now play without any pressure, he might become even more dangerous for his
opponents in the near future.
“I just don’t think the way he works means he will think he
has won the gold medal and that’s it,” he said while talking to Tennis365. “He
still has an enormous passion for the game. He loves what he does and if
anything, it might go the other way. Winning the Olympics might free him up. He
might think he has ticked all the boxes and I am playing with the house’s money
now. He might go out and feel no pressure as he looks to win another major at
the US Open. That might be dangerous for the rest because he will play with
freedom and while he is fit and healthy, I definitely think he has more major
titles in him.”

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
