Novak Djokovic has announced his major goal for the remainder of the season: winning the Davis Cup with the Serbian team.
Despite securing 3 Grand Slam titles this year and regaining the world No. 1 ranking, Djokovic doesn't have many challenges left in the season. There are only two Masters 1000 tournaments remaining in Shanghai and Paris-Bercy, in addition to the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup.
However, the Serbian player has chosen not to participate in the Asian tour and will only compete in the other three tournaments. As he has mentioned several times in recent years, his primary focus remains on the Grand Slam events, with the next one being the 2024 Australian Open in January:
“The Grand Slam season is over but we have another few months until the end of the season,"
"I’m going to be playing in Paris-Bercy, one of the tournaments of the Masters 1000 category for us. A really important one obviously on the ATP Tour, the biggest ones."
"And then the last 8 World Tour Finals in Italy and then to finish off with Davis Cup for Serbia, for my country," Djokovic added
"That’s the big goal for the end of the season. We’re in quarter-finals in the play-off so I’m hoping that we can get our hands on that trophy.”
Djokovic also discussed his remarkable achievement at Flushing Meadows, where he won his 24th Grand Slam title. This victory further separates him from Rafael Nadal, who has 22 Grand Slam titles, and it brings him level with the all-time record held by Margaret Court.
"I think I was fortunate to stay most of my career injury-free and I focused a lot on the big picture, the long term and really invested in my body and my team and just wanted to maintain the level for as many years as possible. Because I knew that if that happens if I can have a long career, I’ll have my shots at the Grand Slam glory."
"Still at 36 going strong I don’t think that the age affects me much, knock on wood I’m hoping that I can still have a few great years at Grand Slams, particularly because those are my highest goals and objectives and priorities."
