Tennis coach Rick Macci believes that Serbia’s legendary
tennis star Novak Djokovic is still keen to have more success.
The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in
the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24
Grand Slam titles in his career.
Macci, is a post on his official account on the social media
platform X—previously known as Twitter — stated his opinion that the current
world number one is far from over and is still hungry for more success.
“@DjokerNole has a lot left to prove and that is to get
Better. Period. The Serbian Goat School of tennis Studys different Thinks
different Eats different Trains different and know if they are not getting
Better they are getting Worse. 2024 and the Joker wants More,” he wrote.
Djokovic had a fabulous year at the highest level where he ended
up winning three out of the four Grand Slams — the Australian Open, the French Open and
the US Open. His only defeat in a major tournament in 2023 came in the final at
Wimbledon where he lost to Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thrilling
contest with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
