Senator Babet congratulates Djokovic on equaling Margaret Court’s incredible feat
ATPThursday, 21 September 2023 at 22:30
Australian Federal Senator Babet has congratulated Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic after winning his 24th Grand Slam title.
The 36-year-old achieved that feat after winning the recently concluded US Open 2023 where he defeated the current world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3.
Babet, in a post on his official account on X — previously known as Twitter — congratulated the current world number one for equaling the record of the great Margaret Court.
“Congratulations to Novak Djokovic, Serbia's greatest athlete. Congratulations on equalling our own Margaret Court's grand slam record, and thank you for reminding us that humility, conviction and courage in the face of bullying and intimidation can, in the end, win through,” Babet wrote.
Court remains perhaps the greatest women’s singles player in the history of tennis in the Open era, having won 24 Grand Slam titles.
Her most successful competition was the Australian Open where she ended up lifting the title 11 times.
Just like her, Djokovic’s most successful competition is also the Australian Open where he has clinched the title 10 times.
With that victory, the Belgrade-born ended the season on a high after winning three out of the four Grand Slams this year.
His only defeat in a major tournament this year came in the final of Wimbledon where he came second-best in a five-set thriller against Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
