Mouratoglou believes Djokovic could 'possibly break 30 Grand Slam titles' to finish his career

Thursday, 14 September 2023 at 23:00

Patrick Mouratoglou responded on Instagram, expressing his belief that Novak Djokovic could potentially achieve the milestone of 30 Grand Slam titles.

The French coach is one of the most esteemed coaches globally, having worked with tennis stars like Coco Gauff, Holger Rune, Simona Halep, and most notably, Serena Williams. Together with Serena, they clinched 10 out of her 23 Grand Slam titles.

After Novak Djokovic's victory at the US Open, the Serbian player surpassed the Grand Slam record of Serena Williams and Steffi Graf, reaching a remarkable 23 Grand Slam titles in his career, equalling Margaret Court. This achievement places him ahead of all male tennis players, with Rafael Nadal at 22 and Roger Federer at 20.

At the age of 36, it's challenging to predict how long Novak Djokovic can continue playing at his exceptional level as the world No. 1 and the top contender in every Grand Slam he competes in.

A user on Instagram sought Mouratoglou's opinion on how many more Grand Slam titles Djokovic could potentially win in the coming years.

“How many more grandslams Novak will wn before he call it a day Patrick?”

“I think he can possibly break the 30 GS titles,” Mourtoglou respond.

Djokovic continues to prove that he is as relevant as ever. At Flushing Meadows, he only dropped sets in his match against fellow Serbian Laslo Djere, who took the first two sets but couldn't maintain the lead. Djokovic didn't concede any more sets throughout the tournament.

The world No. 1 has reached 9 finals in his last 10 Grand Slam appearances since 2021 and has emerged victorious in 7 of them. His only "disappointments" were the losses in the final of the 2021 US Open to Daniil Medvedev and the 2023 Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz.

The only time he didn't make it to the final in these three years was at the 2022 French Open when he was defeated by the multi-time Roland Garros champion, Rafael Nadal. This remarkable record stands at 65-3 in Grand Slams over the past three years.
