Djoker has already won 3 Grand Slam titles this year after his recent success at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. If he wins the Olympic Gold and the US Open 2021 title, the Serb will become the first male player to accomplish the Golden Calendar Slam in the history of the sport.
With this, he’ll also become only the second player to win all the four Grand Slams in a single year after Rod Laver in the Open era. The Australian legend did the same way back in 1969.
Fans surely have huge expectations from Novak Djokovic and want him to play like the way he is playing. Will he be able to end his career with the most number of Grand Slam titles?
