"He wants the all-time record" - Rusedki believes Djokovic aims to dethrone Court as well as Nadal
ATP
Former British player Greg Rusedski thinks that Novak Djokovic wants to win the most Grand Slam titles out of all players.
Djokovic is one of the most successful tennis players in history. He has won 21 Grand Slam titles in his tennis career, which means he trails only a few people in the all-time rankings.
Margaret Court managed to win 24 majors, Serena Williams is a 23-time champion, and Djokovic's big rival, Rafael Nadal, has won 22 Grand Slam titles in his career.
According to the former ATP World No. 4, Greg Rusedski, who played in the 1997 US Open final but has never won a major, Djokovic will want to win 25 majors. Rusedski spoke about the Serbian player on Prime Video.
"I mean let’s not forget Martina Navratilova won her last Wimbledon title at 39 years of age so I see Novak out there if he’s healthy for another four, five years so imagine how many more Slams he’s going to have underneath his belt."
"I don’t think he wants to get the men’s record, I think he wants to get the all-time record. Margaret Court 24. Serena 23, he wants to have 25."
Rusedski thinks that Djokovic might be capable of winning at least two Grand Slam titles in 2023. He thinks Nadal will still win the Roland Garros. At the same time, the former British player sees Djokovic as the top favorite for the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
"Well I see Djokovic winning at least two Majors next year. I see Rafa winning the French and Alcaraz possibly defending his US Open title."
"No question about it. He would’ve won it this year if he was allowed to play. He’s won it nine times, that’s his best Slam. There’s no question about it. Djokovic is just a step up, he’s just a world class player, he’s got all the assets, he’s got everything you need."
