Every day and every match he plays, Novak Djokovic manages to write important pages of tennis history: it seems monotonous by now, but the reality is that the Serbian champion is pushing himself where no other athlete has ever arrived.
The Serbian tennis player seemed to be in difficulty in this first part of the season, between poor results and surgery to the meniscus, but with the unexpected final at Wimbledon and the extraordinary victory at the Olympic Games in Paris (gold medal and consequent Career Golden Slam) he has shown everyone that he is still hungry for victories, titles, tennis.
With the success of the gold medal, the Serbian tennis player has achieved the goal he had set for himself for a lifetime, but, as mentioned, now every time Nole moves he shakes the records that do not yet belong to him.
The latest record came in the first round match of the US Open, after the victory against the tennis player Radu Albot. Djokovic has reached Roger Federer for total number of victories at the US Open, 89, and has set his sights on the rather impressive record of Jimmy Connors.
If he goes all the way in this tournament and with next year on the horizon (at the moment there do not seem to be any intentions of retirement – ed.) Nole could become the tennis player with the most overall victories at the US Open, of course after the Open era.
That’s why Djokovic does not want to stop, referring to the rivalry with the youngsters and in particular with Carlos Alcaraz.
“The youngsters are hungry and want to play the best tennis possible against me, and this awakens a special motivation, awakens the beast in me,” he said.
Surely a way to keep charged with new records in sight, perhaps starting from the next commitment, the US Open 2nd round match against the countryman and friend Laslo Djere.
