Novak Djokovic outlined his goals for the upcoming year, displaying an incredible amount of self-belief. Serbia defeated China 2-1 in a hard-fought match that Djokovic and his colleagues are currently fighting in down under for the 2024 United Cup. The World No. 1 was crucial to the victory, defeating Zhizhen Zhang 6-3, 6-2 in singles play before joining forces with Olga Danilovic to defeat Zhang and Qinwen Zheng.
The Serbian was questioned about his goals for the year in his post-match news conference, specifically if he wanted to top his incredible accomplishments from the 2023 campaign. Djokovic responded by expressing confidence in his capability to win any Grand Slam tournament, despite the possibility that such remarks may be perceived as “arrogant.”
The Serbian international said, “Well, that’s kind of a mindset that I nurtured over the years. Might seem unrealistic or impossible to some. It might seem arrogant to some others. I don’t know.”
“I want to break more records” : Novak Djokovic
He added, “I’ve always believed in myself very strongly. I know that I’m a very all-around player. When I’m fit, when I’m at the peak of my performance, I can win any slam or any tournament. I know that. I’m not afraid to say that.”
The Serbian reaffirmed that he has no intention of hiding his ambition to smash further records. He also wishes to solidify his legacy in the sport of tennis. He stressed his wish to increase the number of Grand Slam victories he has in 2024. But he also made winning an Olympic gold for Serbia a top priority.
Novak Djokovic said, “It’s not a secret that I want to break more records and make more history of the game. That’s something that keeps on motivating me. I mentioned a little bit, I mean, five minutes ago, that Grand Slams, Olympic Games, hopefully I can win another medal for Serbia in the Olympics. I would love to do that. That’s one of the highest goals for this year.”
