Former British number one Greg Rusedski believes Novak Djokovic will chase Marger Court's record of 24 grand slams won.

Margeret Court still has the most grand slams of all players with 24 and Rusedski believes Djokovic wants that record for himself. He's in striking distance as he already has 21 with many believing he can play for at least two more years.

That's more than enough time to get to the 25 mark which would be needed for him to overtake Court:

“I mean let’s not forget Martina Navratilova won her last Wimbledon title at 39 years of age so I see Novak out there if he’s healthy for another four, five years so imagine how many more Slams he’s going to have underneath his belt. I don’t think he wants to get the men’s record, I think he wants to get the all-time record. Margaret Court 24. Serena 23, he wants to have 25."

He also added that he thinks Djokovic will probably win two majors next year:

“Well I see Djokovic winning at least two Majors next year,” the retired British pro told Prime Video. “I see Rafa winning the French and Alcaraz possibly defending his US Open title.”
