Novak Djokovic one title away from 'unbeatable record' dubbed Djokémon Gen III ahead of Monte-Carlo Masters
ATPSaturday, 06 April 2024 at 11:39
Novak Djokovic will set his sights on becoming a champion for the first time in 2024, but he could unlock a record that is unlikely to ever be beaten by claiming the Monte-Carlo Masters called the Djokémon Gen III.
Dubbed as such by journalist, Ben Rothenberg who highlighted the potential feat, Djokovic would complete the feat of winning every Grand Slam, ATP 1000 and Year End Championship (ATP Finals) thrice.
A feat that given his current Grand Slam record which is unlikely to be touched at least in the modern era, Djokovic likely won't ever be beaten in completing this. He will face stern competition in trying to claim it.
Recent defeats have shown that there is some sort of barrier to the usual dominance there for Djokovic. Since losing to Jannik Sinner at the Davis Cup Finals, he has since lost to the Italian again as well as unknown, Luca Nardi at Indian Wells. He did not play Miami saying he wanted to balance his personal and professional schedule.
Novak Djokovic has not won the Monte-Carlo Masters since 2015 and is a two-time champion in the tournament.
This is slightly understandable simply due to the upcoming clay court schedule which sees the Monte-Carlo Masters followed by Madrid Open and Rome Open at least with scope also to play in Barcelona for instance if he needs extra practice. But it will now be time for Djokovic to put his doubters in their place. So the race is on for the Djokémon Gen III.
With Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in particular figuring so high compared to everyone else in the game at the moment, it won't be easy for the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.

- WTA has been unfairly ignoring Elena ever since Wimbledon. Arguably biased against her. Same with the most major sponsors whom normally pounce on the Wimbledon Winners for sponsorship. Didn't happen. Her unfair treatment was always in Lena's subconcious; how she was largely ignored after Wimbledon. Her sister helped her a lot during that period. Next came illnesses and minor injury. A lot of time was lost, and physical (mental?) issues were frequent, as she fought through the absurdiy and general nonsense brought-on by her coach/partner. He was a Loser then, he's a Loser still. Although he has lowered his attitude, volume, and non-stop yapping from the box since he wore the organizations out with his non-stop legal letters begging for mercy and ultimately fully reinstated. Rybakina deserves all the accolades others have enjoyed and more for her strength and will to succeed. Hope it continues.mandoist15-09-2026
- Ball bouncing is not that extreme but... ...they can eliminate the time-wasting walks back & forth to the Towel Bin between serves!!! That's just plain ridiculous to see some of them take minimum 30 seconds between every serve to shuffle over to their towel bin, dab their face, or wipe their handle. "Toweling-off" is an obvious time waster.mandoist15-09-2026
- Raducan'tdo and the media's love affair with her may be due to her looks. Since she does nothing for tennis, what else is going on with the 'love'?? She is best at maintaining a "presence" via anti-Social Media and maintaining her sponsorships.mandoist14-09-2026
- As soon as someone makes a statement like this we are all waiting for the inevitable outcome of the EXACT OPPOSITE!!! He’s got a lot of work to do if you’re both the fitness AND mental coach and your client loses her mind when she’s losing.DaveyWavey14-09-2026
- Endless intentional ball-bouncing is a ploy. Extended screaming in competition (but never, ever on the practice courts) is a ploy. Neither of these things are a "strategy". Bottom Line: WTA + ATP do not care. They consider these things free marketing and advertising issues.mandoist14-09-2026
