Murray predicts more Grand Slam titles for Djokovic: "I don't think this is going to be the last time that Novak wins a Grand Slam"
Tennis News
Andy Murray has praised Novak Djokovic following his milestone victory at the US Open, saying that he predicts more Grand Slam titles will follow for the World No. 1.
Djokovic has had yet another dominant season. The Serb looked unbeatable at majors for most of the year as he ousted Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud in straight sets to win the Australian Open and French Open titles respectively.
Nevertheless, some fans believed the 36-year-old's monumentally successful career was beginning to wind down a bit after he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final at Wimbledon. However, Djokovic quickly proved the doubters wrong by flying through to the final of the last major of the year in New York and winning against Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam titles.

Murray predicts more success for Djokovic
In a recent interview with BBC Sport, former World No. 1 Murray, who prior to Alcaraz was the last player to defeat Djokovic in a Wimbledon final back in 2013, praised the Big Three member and said that he did not see this year's shock result at the All England Club as a 'changing of the guard.'
"I said that after Wimbledon, everyone was saying it was a changing of the guard, but it wasn't for me. It was quite clear Novak had won two of the first three slams and was very, very close in the final of Wimbledon," he said.
Murray also complimented Alcaraz but stressed that he didn't think the 20-year-old was matching Djokovic's levels of consistency just yet.

"He's an amazing player Alcaraz, he's brilliant, but to do what Novak is doing on a consistent basis is different. It's not the same as doing it for 15-20 weeks a year like Novak is doing, every time he steps on the court," he added.
Moreover, while Murray went on to say that he certainly thinks Alcaraz will get to that level soon, he also believes that Djokovic still has more Grand Slam victories to come.
"I do think that Alcaraz will soon get to that level but I don't think this is going to be the last time that Novak wins a Grand Slam," he said.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
