Time is ticking as Novak Djokovic's likely last Golden Slam attempt falters as Steffi Graf keeps historic feat

Serbia’s Novak Djokovic has once again missed the golden opportunity of completing the Golden Grand Slam.

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.

There are not many things that Djokovic has not achieved on the tennis court but one of them is surely the Golden Grand Slam where a player wins all four major titles in a calendar year and the Olympic gold medal as well.

However, the world number one once again missed out on the opportunity of going for the Golden Grand Slam as he crashed out of the Australian Open 2024 after losing to Italy’s Jannik Sinner in the semifinal with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3.

After a recent setback, Djokovic will definitely turn his attention towards the other objective which would be to win an Olympic gold medal for his country which surprisingly he has never done in his career.

His best outing in the competition came in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China where he defeated America’s James Blake in the Bronze medal tie in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6.
