The Serbian star made sure he wants to continue breaking records and indicated what his priorities will be in the busy season that has already begun.
After having an incredible 2023, where – among other things – he won three Grand Slams and the ATP Finals, Novak Djokovic He started 2024 with courage, motivation and ambition. In fact, he literally started it on a tennis court, within the framework of United Cup (friendly national team tournament). And after his two wins (in singles and mixed doubles), The star looked forward to the upcoming season, assured that he wants to continue breaking records and indicated what his main goal is..
“My competitive attitude will not change this season. “I want to properly organize my calendar to maintain my body, not suffer surface changes and be able to compete for the greatest success in tennis.”commented the world number one.
“I have always believed in myself a lot, I am a very complete tennis player and I know that if I play at my level, I can beat anyone and in all possible scenarios. It is no secret that What motivates me the most is to continue breaking records and making history in this sport.“he also said.
Djokovic’s main goal for 2024
“The Grand Slam tournaments and the Davis Cup are very important to me, though Getting Olympic gold for my country would be great. I would say that this is the priority objective that I set for myself for this year.“he admitted.
The truth is that it makes sense, because It’s just short of the best of all time. At Beijing 2008, he won bronze; At London 2012, Juan Martín Del Potro prevented him from repeating, leaving him on the podium; In Rio 2016, the man from Tandil disappointed him again (if so in the debut -photo-); At Tokyo 2020, he fell again in the fight for third place.
This is how Djokovic started 2024
In the aforementioned United Cup, Serbia had to face China. In this context, Novak won first in singles (6-3 and 6-2 against Zhizhen Zhang) and then in doubles (with Olga Danilovic, 6-4, 1-6 and 10-6). And since this last meeting ended after midnight (that is, at the turn of the year), The Serbian team received 2024 right there, on the field, in front of the spectators.
“The victory before midnight was an amazing scene. Seeing so many Serbian fans in the stands was exciting, I think it’s the best way to welcome the new year”Nole commented later.
“Most of the seasons I started in Australia were very good. I don’t know what it is about this country that makes me want to play at such a high level. Participating in team competitions is very positive, it gives me special energy to start a new season“complete.
