NEW YORK, Aug 26 ― Novak Djokovic says he is treating every Grand Slam tournament like it's his last as he prepares to make a long-awaited return to the US Open next week.
“I also understand that things are different when you're 36, so I have to be more appreciative, a bit more, I guess, present, treating every Grand Slam as maybe your last one in terms of commitment and performance. Djokovic was subsequently barred from entry to the United States over his refusal to get vaccinated ― putting him at odds with US government Covid-19 travel rules ― meaning he missed last year's US Open.Djokovic, who opens his campaign on the Arthur Ashe main arena against France's Alexandre Muller on Monday, says he is relishing his return to what he described as the most “electric” atmosphere in tennis.
Djokovic said last week's defeat of Alcaraz in Cincinnati in a near four-hour epic felt like winning a Grand Slam. “Those are kind of the moments in matches that I still push myself on a daily basis for day in and day out, practice, sacrifice, commitment. At 36, still have the drive. I love competition.”
