"That’s the big goal for the end of the season”: Djokovic sets sights on Davis Cup triumph to cap remarkable season
ATPWednesday, 27 September 2023 at 20:00
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."
