Radek Stepanek tips Djokovic to break all-time Grand Slam record in 2022

Djokovic is currently tied with Federer and Nadal at 20 but he could break it at the Australian Open where he has triumphed 9 already. It could be a perfect combination of events where he would break the record with the 10th Australian Open trophy. He needs to confirm his participation in order to do that but many believe Djokovic will comply with the rules and attend.

Radaek Stepanek believes he wil break the record in 2022:

"It's incredible and what he wants to achieve in becoming the best of all time, I believe it's going to be happening next year. He's changing the history books in basically every slam so I think the Grand Slam stat he would like to be up there alone."

Stepanek was part of Djokovic's team for six months as the Serbian struggled with an elbow injury and recalling that time, Stepanek said:

"It was a very interesting seven months because he was in a tough period of his career and life because he was injured with his elbow. During that period, he didn't play one tournament where he was healthy so we always had to compromise and suddenly he ended up having surgery on his elbow and he started to play very early. He didn't finish the rehab and he rushed it a lot and it took seven months."

Summing up his thoughts, he said:

"I'm very happy to see he overcame that period and he plays pain free and he's racking up the Slams."
