Even though Novak Djokovic’s achievement of winning an Olympic gold medal was a huge deal, he is far from satisfied with his tennis career. He holds a record of 24 Grand Slam trophies, 99 total titles, the most weeks at No. 1 for any player, and much more. This is evident as the U.S. Open gets underway.
The 37-year-old from Serbia said on Saturday: “People would ask me: ‘Now that you have won everything with the golden medal, what else is there to win?’ I still feel the drive. I still have a competitive spirit. I still want to make more history and enjoy myself on a tour.”
The Serbian chose to flaunt the gold medal by wearing it at the US Open. The US Open 2024 saw the start of festivities before the start of the main draw. Djokovic came into the arena during this session, proudly wearing the gold medal he took home from the Paris Games three weeks prior.
