Novak Djokovic continues to raise the bar of consistency and excellence at the very highest level of tennis. The 38-year-old competed the quartet of Major semi-finals in 2025 following another strong run in New York.
Thus, Djokovic set a new all-time record with 53 Major semi-final appearances, surpassing the legendary Chris Evert's 52. Novak has entered 80 Major tournaments since 2005.
Remarkably, he has reached the last four in well-over half of them, highlighting a level of reliability unmatched in our sport. Thus, he continues to raise the bar ahead of the upcoming challenge from Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
The Serb's longevity and ability to different surfaces and conditions have kept him among the toughest opponents in the game, even after the 38th birthday. Djokovic's latest milestone adds another chapter to his extraordinary career.
At his age, most players have long retired, even in modern tennis. However, Novak battles against time and remains one of the central figures at Majors, his favorite battleground.

With 53 Major semi-finals by his name (you have to play every Major for 14 years just to enter that many tournaments),Djokovic proves his timeless class and incredible mental and physical strength.
For a player who has everything, Novak is still hungry to challenge the young guns and test his game inthe best-of-five conditions. In 2008, the Belgrade native became the youngest player with the semi-final at all four Majors.
Seventeen years later, he is still capable of competing in the last four at all four Major events in a season, raising the bar high while seeking every possible record on the tennis biggest stage.
Novak will seek his first Major final in two years against Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard is the favorite, but the Serb hopes to produce his well-known magic, as he did in Melbourne in January.
