In 2022, Novak Djokovic missed two out of four Grand Slam tournaments and therefore, he's currently one title behind Rafael Nadal in the 'GOAT Race'.

First, the Serbian was deported from Australia and then, he was not allowed to enter the United States. However, Novak Djokovic's uncle, Goran Djokovic believes that this is what prolonged the career of 21-time Grand Slam champion who missed two chances to increase the number of his Grand Slam titles this season.

“This year was not easy for Novak, but he keeps pressing forward. I am sure that after everything he endured, he will come out stronger,” Goran Djokovic said to The Pavlovic Today. “Novak is his own person. He knows who he is. Novak knows what he wants.”

“The ordeal he went through this year in Australia only extended his career. Instead of maybe retiring from tennis in three or four years, his career has been extended for five, or six years. He is resting his body.”
