Novak Djokovic has once again etched his name into tennis history by becoming the oldest player to reach the semifinals of all four Grand Slam tournaments in a single season. He accomplished this extraordinary milestone in 2021 at age 34, repeated it in 2023 at 36, and defied time once more in 2025 at 38.

Defying Age and Expectations

In a sport where physical endurance and recovery are paramount, Djokovic’s ability to maintain elite performance across the grueling calendar of majors is unmatched. His 2025 run included semifinal appearances at the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open—each against a backdrop of younger challengers and persistent injuries.

Surpassing Legends of the Game

By achieving this feat three times after turning 34, Djokovic has surpassed the likes of Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors, who previously held age-related records at Grand Slam events. No other player in the Open Era has reached the semifinals of all four majors in a season beyond the age of 34, let alone three times.

Longevity and Consistency

Djokovic’s consistency is staggering. He has now reached the quarterfinals of all four Slams in a season nine times, more than any other player in history. His ability to convert those deep runs into semifinal appearances, especially in his late 30s, highlights a level of longevity rarely seen in professional tennis.

A Legacy Still Unfolding

With 24 Grand Slam titles and counting, Djokovic’s career continues to evolve. His 2025 campaign, marked by resilience and brilliance, reinforces his place among the sport’s immortals. Whether or not he adds more titles, his sustained excellence across decades has redefined what is possible for aging athletes in tennis.
