Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has expressed concerns about Novak Djokovic’s plan to focus primarily on Grand Slam events in 2025. Despite winning an Olympic gold medal in 2024, Djokovic ended the year without an ATP title, prompting his decision to scale back.

However, Cash warns that playing fewer matches may affect Djokovic’s match sharpness, which is crucial for five-set Grand Slam battles.Cash emphasized the importance of maintaining match fitness to avoid struggles in early Slam rounds, particularly for older players.

He also pointed out that Andy Murray, now in Djokovic’s coaching team, might influence the Serbian’s approach given Murray’s history of maintaining a rigorous schedule. Cash believes finding the right balance of matches will be key to Djokovic’s continued success.
