Novak Djokovic seeks a record 25th Grand Slam title after Olympic gold
Millennium Post Delhi|August 26, 2024
As big a deal as finally winning an Olympic gold medal was to Novak Djokovic, as much as he has accomplished in tennis -the ― men's-record 24 Grand Slam trophies, the 99 total titles, the most weeks at No.1 for any player and on and on - do not for a moment think he is satisfied as the U.S. Open begins.
Novak Djokovic seeks a record 25th Grand Slam title after Olympic gold

"People would ask me: Now that have basically won you everything with the golden medal, what else is there to win?' I still feel the drive. I still have the competitive spirit," the 37-year-old from Serbia said Saturday. "I still want to make more history and enjoy myself on the tour." If it seems like there is always some sort of milestone in the offing when Djokovic takes the court, that's because there usually is.

This time around at Flushing Meadows, where play begins Monday and the No.2-seeded Djokovic faces 138thranked Radu Albot of Moldova at night in Arthur Ashe Stadium, there is the latest opportunity to get major singles championship No. 25, a total no man or woman ever has reached in tennis.

As the defending champion, there is also a chance to become the first man to win at least two consecutive titles at the U.S. Open since Roger Federer swept five in a row from 2004 to 2008.
