Even though Novak is 33 years old, he has been getting closer to these goals but the big question is – will he have enough time to reach them? On this topic, he said,

“I am no longer in my third decade, I have entered my fourth. By some sporting standards, I am no longer young and am slowly entering the last third of my career. I’m not thinking about the end, I’m not thinking when it could be, I feel good and above all, I love this sport,”

In the last couple of years, we have seen Novak play some of his best tennis despite his age. And this amazing tennis has gotten him closer to reaching one of his goals – the record for the most Grand Slams. He has 17 Majors which is 3 short of Roger’s 20 and he could very well go past him.

If Novak achieves this, there will be no doubt in people’s minds on whether he is the GOAT of tennis. His next opportunity to get even closer is going to come in August at the US Open. And he will be training hard to win it.
