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.
