Novak Djokovic may have had his last chance of clinching major title number 25, but there is another record he might have his eyes on going forward. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After coming through his quarter of the draw at the US Open, Djokovic lost to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the semifinals, marking yet another final-four defeat at a Grand Slam in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Serb has reached the penultimate stage at all four major events this year, but has been unable to advance to the final. <\/p>\n

While his run at Flushing Meadows could have been his last best shot at the feat, Djokovic<\/a> can still become the all-time leader in ATP<\/a> Titles. <\/p>\n

With 100 tour-level crowns to his name currently, he needs just 10 more to surpass Jimmy Connors<\/a>\u2018 tally of 109, which former American tennis star Sam Querrey thinks he could easily manage. <\/p>\n

Speaking on the \u2018Nothing Major\u2019 podcast, Querrey said of the record: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s important to him based on what his calendar was this year. The last three tournaments he played were Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Novak wanted to surpass those guys, he could. He could load up with 250s and win them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw this year he made the semifinals of all four majors, so in major tournaments he\u2019s the third-best player in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what\u2019s he ranked right now\u2014seven? I think he\u2019s generally looked at as the third-best player in the world right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could go sign up for a handful of 250s this year and probably win ten of them. So for that reason alone, I don\u2019t think those numbers\u2014surpassing Fed and Jimmy Connors\u2014are important to him at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic\u2019s titles and finals over the past two seasons<\/p>\n

In the last two seasons, Djokovic has reached five finals, emerging victorious in just two of them.<\/p>\n

He made it to the Wimbledon final in 2024, where he fell to Alcaraz<\/a> once again, but later that summer, the 24-time major champion beat the Spaniard in the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics. <\/p>\n

Djokovic\u2019s last final that year was at the Shanghai Masters, in which he suffered defeat to Jannik Sinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This season, the legend has made the championship match at just two events, finishing as the runner-up at the Miami Open and securing his 100th title at the Geneva Open. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Novak Djokovic may have had his last chance of clinching major title number 25, but there is another…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[4294,4295,12201,79,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-422219","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-novak-djokovic","10":"tag-sam-querrey","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115199453922987192","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
