Novak Djokovic wants to try to win at least one more Grand Slam title before leaving professional tennis, but this goal has moved a long way away due to the very high level of two young champions like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
The Spanish ace and the Italian star have been dominating the men's tour for a couple of years and it is no coincidence that the last Major title won by Nole dates back to the 2023 edition of the US Open, before the Serbian legend suffered a decline both technically and athletically.
The 38-year-old from Belgrade has already won everything a tennis player can dream of and is considered as the best ever, at least from a numbers point of view, but he has expressed a desire to break new records even after finally winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics just over a year ago.

Nolesits third in the ATP Race
Novak's 2025 has not been bad so far, considering that he occupies third place in the ATP Race having reached the semifinals in all the Major tournaments played. In addition, the former world No. 1 also lifted the 100th trophy of his legendary career at the Geneva ATP 250, just days before the start of Roland Garros.
After the defeat against Alcaraz in the US Open semifinals, the 24-time Grand Slam champion has only confirmed the Athens ATP 250 between now and the end of 2025 and the feeling is that he is already focused on the 2026 Australian Open scheduled for next January in Melbourne.
On the latest edition of the 'Business of Sport' podcast, top coach Patrick Mouratoglou analyzed Djokovic's chances of winning another Grand Slam title: He is the best of all time without any doubt. But even the way he expresses it makes me feel that he doesnt believe he can.
