Novak Djokovic is still searching for an elusive prize.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He already holds the record for the most Grand Slam men\u2019s singles titles in history. Djokovic<\/a> is the only male player in history to win each Grand Slam at least three times and has a winning record over both of his greatest rivals: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, for all of Djokovic\u2019s achievements, he still thirsts for more. <\/p>\n

The 38-year-old is looking to separate himself from Margaret Court, as both players hold the record for the most Grand Slam singles titles.<\/p>\n

Tim Henman, a former Wimbledon semi-finalist, spoke to Tennis365 after Djokovic\u2019s Olympic victory last year. The Brit made a particular prediction about the Serbian star, which is yet to come true.<\/p>\n

Former British number one Tim Henman<\/a> weighed in on Djokovic\u2019s chances of winning another Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

The Serbian star had just won an elusive gold medal at the Olympic Games, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final 7-6 7-6 on the Paris clay.<\/p>\n

However, he has failed to win a Grand Slam since the 2023 US Open<\/a>; a two-year drought for the 38-year-old.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Tennis365<\/a> at a Vodafone Play Your Way To Wimbledon event in 2024, Henman said: \u201cI just don\u2019t think the way he works means he will think he has won the gold medal and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe still has an enormous passion for the game. He loves what he does and if anything, it might go the other way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the Olympics might free him up. He might think he has ticked all the boxes and I am playing with the house\u2019s money now. He might go out and feel no pressure as he looks to win another major at the US Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat might be dangerous for the rest because he will play with freedom and while he is fit and healthy, I definitely think he has more major titles in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can Novak Djokovic break his own record?<\/p>\n

You can never write off Novak Djokovic.<\/p>\n

The 24-time major champion has failed to win a Grand Slam for two years. However, he picked up his 100th ATP Tour title in Geneva earlier this season and has reached the semi-final stage at each of the Grand Slam events in 2025.<\/p>\n

At 36 years old, Djokovic became the oldest winner of the US Open Men\u2019s Singles title in Open Era history.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old has been prolific on hard courts throughout his career having won 14 of his 24 majors on the surface.<\/p>\n

Included in those titles are four US Opens. He has also reached a further six US Open finals during his career.<\/p>\n

The looming presence of Jannik Sinner<\/a> and Carlos Alcaraz will be a concern for the Serbian player. Djokovic has certainly struggled against Sinner in recent times, losing to him in the French Open and Wimbledon semi-finals.<\/p>\n

However, Djokovic defeated Alcaraz<\/a> in the Australian Open quarter-finals, proving he still has the capacity to defeat the very best on the ATP Tour.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old withdrew from this week\u2019s Canadian Open<\/a>, which could give him ample rest to prepare properly for the Cincinnati Open and US Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Novak Djokovic is still searching for an elusive prize.
