"I’m gonna keep on keeping on": Novak Djokovic names two events where he sees his best shot at another Grand Slam title

Novak Djokovic has named two events which give him the best opportunity to win another Grand Slam. The 38-year-old’s journey at the French Open 2025 came to an end on Friday as he lost to Jannik Sinner in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-5, 7-6.

Speaking to the media after the match, Djokovic emphasised that his focus will now shift to Wimbledon and the Australian Open, the two tournaments where he believes he has the best chance to secure his 25th Grand Slam title.

“I don’t know what tomorrow brings at this point in my career,” he said. “I’m gonna keep on keeping on (laughs). Obviously Wimbledon is next, which is my childhood favorite tournament. I’m gonna do everything possible to get myself ready. I guess my best chance is maybe Wimbledon to win another slam. Or a faster hard court, maybe Australia or something like that. I must say I was proud of my effort tonight and this tournament considering I wasn’t in great form coming into Roland Garros.”

Djokovic’s comments did not come as a surprise as he has a fabulous record while playing in those competitions. The Australian Open remains his favourite event, where he has lifted the title 10 times, which is also the most by a men’s tennis player in the history of the competition. Djokovic’s last title in Melbourne came in 2023, where he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 7-6. In this year’s competition, he was forced to retire in the semifinal against Alexander Zverev because of a fitness concern.

At Wimbledon, Djokovic has lifted the title seven times. He has qualified for six consecutive finals in that competition, winning four and losing twice. Both of his defeats came against Carlos Alcaraz in the last two editions. Last year, Djokovic came second best against the 22-year-old who defended his title after winning the contest with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.
