Novak Djokovic She is chasing a 25th Grand Slam title to break twenty-four matches on Australian Margaret Court. In 2024 his account did not move, although he paid for it by winning Olympic gold. The loot that he really lacks.
He will return to action at the Australian Open, which will be held in Melbourne from January 12 to 26. He will have a path full of pitfalls, which includes a direct confrontation with Carlos Alcaraz who is already in the quarterfinals. In the semis I expect Alexander Zverev and in the final, the current champion and his executioner in the previous edition, Jannik Sinner.
At 37 years old, Djokovic faces a formidable challenge: winning his eleventh Australian Open. He gave the final goal of 2024 to focus on this goal. Measure your efforts. He tried himself at the Brisbane ATP, he was chased by the American Reilly Opelka.
He will open in Melbourne against a new star of USA tennis, the champion of the ATP Finals Nishesh Basavareddy19 years old. Although his greatest enemies are Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinnerwhich shared the four Grand Slams in 2024: Roland Garros and Wimbledon went to the Spanish, Australia and the US Open, to the Italian.
Djokovic surpassed the statistics of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the battle within the ‘Big 3’ to be the best in history. Do you feel the threat of Alcaraz and Sinner?.
In an interview with GQ magazine, which will be published in Spain on January 28, he made it very clear with a first direct question: “People say that my records will never be broken. I doubt it. I mean, Carlos can even Jannik if they take care of their body, if they do it properly, focus on longevity and long term, they can,” he said.
Although he also sent a notice to the two. Directed asked about Alcaraz and his expressed desire to be the best ever, ‘Nole’ reflected that “he has said it himself, he wants to make history. He wants to be ‘the best in history’. I respect that type of mentality, like: ‘Hey, I think I’ve got what it takes.’ But maybe it’s a little early to think about the story.”
Alcaraz21 years old, has four Grand Slams, a couple has Sinner, 23. Djokovic is 24 and has not set a retirement date. “I think more about how than when. I still don’t think about when, but how, I think that if I start losing, if I overcome the challenges that the Grand Slams indicate become an increasingly bigger challenge , then I’ll probably call it a day But for now I’m fine, let’s move on.”
