Novak Djokovic is back in the United States, back in New York and back at the U.S. Open for the first time in two years.
Djokovic wept at the end of that match, something he attributed that day to a mix of relief at his pursuit of the milestone no longer hanging over him and of appreciation for the way the thousands of spectators saluted his effort.
“What I felt from the crowd — that kind of connection and love and support that they gave me throughout the entire match, and also in the closing ceremony — was something that I carry still in my heart,” he said Friday. “I still feel vibes from that night of the finals, two years ago. I’ll try to use that for this year’s tournament.”
While that bit of history went by the wayside, Djokovic is still winning and chasing more achievements. He already has won more major singles championships than any other man in tennis history, one more than Rafael Nadal and three more than Roger Federer. But that’s not to say he wouldn’t love to get No. 24, which would put him one ahead of Serena Williams for the most in the Open era.
He has spent more weeks ranked at No. 1 than any man or woman. But that doesn’t mean he would mind overtaking current ATP leaderCompetitors know that Djokovic can find motivation anywhere. They also know — based on his titles at the Australian Open in January and French Open in June, and his run to the Wimbledon final in July, and his victory over Alcaraz in the Cincinnati Masters final last weekend — that he’s still a, if not the, favorite in every tournament he enters.“I mean, he’s Novak.
