"My greatest desire is to win the Davis Cup" says Novak Djokovic with sights set also on at least one title before 2023 season concludes
ATP
Serbia’s legendary tennis star
Novak Djokovic has revealed that his ‘greatest’ desire for the remainder of
this year is to win the Davis Cup.
The quarterfinals of the
competition is set to be scheduled in the last few days of November where eight
teams will participate to secure the ultimate prize.
Serbia are set to face off against
Great Britian in a mouthwatering quarterfinal on November 23.
Djokovic, while recently talking
to Eurosport, expressed his desire to win the Davis Cup this year.
“My greatest desire is to win the
Davis Cup,” he said. “I hope to end 2023 fit, healthy, as World #1, and winning
at least one title.”
Djokovic is often renowned as the
greatest player in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having
won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles.
His most recent victory came in
New York last month where he defeated current world number three Russia’s Daniil
Medvedev in the final with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3.
With that victory, Djokovic ended
the year with three Grand Slam titles in his name. He first clinched the
Australian Open after defeating Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final with a
score of 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5).
Later on, he also won the French
Open after defeating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final with a score of 7–6(7–1),
6–3, 7–5.
Djokovic’s only defeat this year
in the Grand Slams came in the final of Wimbledon where he lost to Spain’s
young sensation Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thrilling contest with a score of 1–6,
7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
He will now turn his attention
towards the Australian Open which is his most successful competition where he has
lifted the title 10 times — most in the tournament’s history.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- 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
