Novak Djokovic expresses his determination to start his 2024 season with a win at the Australian Open, aiming for his 11th title. The tennis world is experiencing a shift as the 'Big Four' era comes to an end, with Djokovic facing a new generation of contenders like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Despite a recent dip in form, Djokovic is optimistic about his chances and has enlisted the coaching expertise of former rival Andy Murray.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC expresses his determination to win a Grand Slam starting with the Australian Open as the Serbian player begins his quest for an 11th title. Djokovic will be competing for the first time without the 'Big Four' after Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both announced their retirements this year. Roger Federer announced his retirement in 2022.
As their dominance fades, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz emerge as new Grand Slam challengers, with both opting out of any tournaments leading up to the major championship next season as the Australian Open kicks off on January 12th. Djokovic's ability is questioned to defeat the new generation of players after the 37-year-old displayed disappointing performances this year, he surprised the world by hiring Murray as his coach. 'I will still try my best because I feel my body is still functioning well. I still have the motivation to win Grand Slams, create more history. 'That's one of the main reasons why I asked Andy to work with me, because I still have big plans, so as long as that's happening, I will keep going,' said Djokovic, who only needs one more Grand Slam to surpass 24 titles held by legend Margaret Court. - AF
