Novak Djokovic refused to call himself the greatest of all time because he feels it would be ‘disrespectful’ to his competition and past champions. On Sunday, Djokovic ousted Casper Ruud to win his record-breaking 23rd place.
Grand Slam title. Rafael Nadal is now second all-time with 22 Grand Slams, while Roger Federer finished his career with 20 Majors. Shortly after Djokovic set a new all-time record in the men’s Grand Slams, he was dubbed “the GOAT”.
“I don’t want to say I’m the greatest because I feel that is disrespectful to all the great champions in different eras of our sport, which was played in a completely different way than it is today.
I’ll leave those discussions about who’s the greatest to someone else. I naturally have great faith and confidence and faith in myself and in all I am and all I can do,” said Djokovic.
Djokovic is aiming for more Grand Slam wins
Djokovic has now won all three Grand Slams he has competed in. After his win at Wimbledon 2022, Djokovic was barred from competing at the US Open due to his vaccination position.
At the start of the 2023 season, Djokovic won everything at the Australian Open and the French Open. Now Djokovic has set his sights on defending his Wimbledon title and winning his eighth title at the All England Club. “Of course the journey is not over yet.
I think if I’m winning slams why would I even think about retiring when my career has been going on for 20 years. I still feel motivated, I still feel inspired to play the best tennis in these tournaments.
Those are the ones that I think count the most in the history of our sport. I’m looking forward to Wimbledon now,” said Djokovic.
