. Rafael Nadal leads Djokovic, 22-21, in Grand Slam titles even as those numbers might stand transposed had the nine-time Australian Open champion Djokovic gotten to play the 2022 event, which Nadal won.
Now: “I am on vacation,” Djokovic said Sunday night. “Whether or not I’m playing any tournament soon, I’ll definitely be resting for the next couple weeks because it has been quite an exhausting and demanding period for me the last few months. A lot of tennis, which I was very happy about. I got what I wanted here. Then I’ll wait hopefully for some good news from U.S.A. because I would really love to go there.

I go back home [to Croatia]. It’s a nice summer. Beautiful. If he goes to States, it’s going to be beautiful. If he don’t go to States, what can we do? It’s [other] tournaments. We’ll see.
He said: “There is one movie back home, is a ‘Long, Hot Summer.’ This is going to be for me a long, hot summer vacation. I going to have vacation from today. I don’t know till when. I don’t know. Maybe Biden will change his mind.” All the while, Djokovic reached 35 in May, even if it’s an unusually robust 35, and if he can’t play the U.S. Open or the 2023 Australian Open because of vaccination status, he might not see another Grand Slam event until right after his 36th birthday, at the 2023 French Open.“I don’t feel I’m in rush really anywhere to end my career in a year time or two years time or whatever it is,” he said. “Just not thinking about it.
