Novak Djokovic heads to the U.S. Open for the first time since 2021 with his world number one ranking gone and a new rival intent on denying him a 24th Grand Slam title, but only the brave would write off his chances at Flushing Meadows.
The 36-year-old's bid for a calendar year Grand Slam ended with a five-sets loss to Carlos Alcaraz in last month's Wimbledon final, with fans, pundits and former players saying the result heralded a changing of the guard in men's tennis.
"There's still that drive and motivation to really come at the biggest events in sport and try to win, try to win titles and try to bring some good sensation to the crowds." The Serb's willingness to push his body to its limits has not faded, as his younger rivals found out at this year's Australian Open when he battled to the title playing with a torn hamstring.
