The golden rule that you should never write off Djokovic still holds true, but after he, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer had won at least one Grand Slam title between them every season since 2003, this year there were none. “It’s nice to see new champions. Nice to see new rivalries. I feel it’s good for the sport to have some new champions.”
This year, Djokovic endured a lackluster Grand Slam campaign by his lofty standards, starting with a semifinal loss to Sinner at Melbourne Park and continuing with an injury enforced withdrawal from the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. “From a larger perspective, of course I have to be content,” Djokovic said in the aftermath of his US Open exit.
A more important target for a man who has always had a huge regard for the history of the game might be winning a 25th Grand Slam to surpass Margaret Court’s record.
