After losing to Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals of the Wimbledon Championships, Novak Djokovic reiterated his desire to continue competing at the highest level by chasing his dream of becoming the oldest ever to lift a Major trophy.
It has not been announced for the moment what the schedule of the Serbian legend will be before the US Open – scheduled in New York from August 24 to September 7 – but he is regularly registered for the Masters 1000 in Toronto and Cincinnati.
The former world No. 1 has to be very careful with his body at this stage of his career, which is why it is not excluded that the 24-time Grand Slam champion could decide to skip the Canadian tournament and only play in Ohio in August.
The Wimbledon result confirmed to the 38-year-old from Belgrade how tough it will be to beat Sinner and Alcaraz in the Majors, considering that the Italian and the Spaniard are monopolizing the men’s tour and have won the last seven Grand Slam titles.
The last player – outside of Jannik and Carlos – who was able to triumph in a Major was Nole at the 2023 US Open, when he defeated Russian ace Daniil Medvedev in the final.

According to Australian legend Rennae Stubbs, the end of Novak’s career would not be so far away and he could say goodbye to professional tennis after the 2026 Australian Open.
To tell the truth, Djokovic has repeatedly repeated that he is not thinking about retirement and that his dream would be to participate in the next edition of the Olympics, scheduled in Los Angeles in 2028, when he will be 41 years old.
In these hours, it has been revealed that the Serbian veteran will wear an all-black outfit at the US Open this year. The former world No.1 will look like a man on a mission in New York, in a tournament that has given him both joys and disappointments during his long career.
