IF Novak Djokovic had converted a set point in the second-set tiebreak in last year's Wimbledon final, he would have completed a calendar Grand Slam.
And the Serbian superstar would already have set a new record of 25 Major singles titles.
But from a memorable 2023, the soon-to-be deposed world No.1 has suffered a 2024 to forget. He could be facing the beginning of the end of his amazing career.
Even his famed powers of recovery will be tested by the torn medial meniscus he suffered in his right knee while beating Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo.
Now, with the next generation winning Majors, there is a real possibility he will never break the record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles he has shared with Margaret Court since winning the US Open last year.
