In addition to that, he has reached the top 10 in both singles and doubles. Unfortunately for all tennis fans, Melzer has finally decided to hang up his racquet. He will do so at 2021 Australian Open but before that, he wants to reach the ATP Finals this year which he described as ‘one of the last big goals’. However, he still wants to play in Australia next year and he explained [https://www.tennisnet.com/news/juergen-melzer-ruecktritt-nach-den-australian-open-2021] why. “I want to play Australia because it will probably be played in front of spectators and I don’t want to play my last match in front of empty ranks. Also, there is a team event in Australia and everyone who knows me knows how much I am Team events are close to my heart. That’s why I want to play the ATP Cup and then it would be very unwise not to take part in the Australian Open.” Austrian veteran Jurgen Melzer is set to retire at home event [https://www.tennisworldusa.org/imgb/64944/austrian-veteran-jurgen-melzer-is-set-to-retire-at-home-event.jpg] BEST MATCH OF JURGEN MELZER A large part of Melzer’s achievements has been in doubles as he has won 17 titles, including two Grand Slam titles. However, he has done well in singles too, and his best performance was at the 2010 French Open. There, the Austrian reached his first and only Grand Slam semi-final which did not come easy. In the quarter-finals, he faced Novak Djokovic, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic] who took the first two sets very easily. However, Melzer pulled off an incredible comeback and won the next three to seal the match. To date, this is Novak’s only loss after leading two sets to love, which makes this achievement even more incredible. Jurgen Melzer: It's nice to see that the fire is still there after all these years [https://www.tennisworldusa.org/imgb/89851/jurgen-melzer-it-s-nice-to-see-that-the-fire-is-still-there-after-all-these-years.jpg] It is sad to hear that we will not see such amazing matches after the 2021 Australian Open from this man.

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements 2023 Novak Djokovic Wimbledon 2023 The Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic set out to play a final that the entirety of the world had dreamt of for the past few months. Since the rise of Carlos Alcaraz, everyone wanted to watch a showdown between the two. They eventually met in the final of Wimbledon, which seemed to be in Djokovic&#8217;s favor. After the Serbian won the first set 6-1, he would lose two sets continuously, which made the score 6-1, 6-7(6), 1-6.

Alcaraz won the fifth set and showed why he topped the Pepperstone ATP rankings. After the gruesome match, Djokovic&#8217;s speech contained much praise for his opponent of the day. However, as he looked up at his son smiling in the stands, he could not compose himself anymore.? Djokovic cried and, as he gained composure, said, &#8220;I love you. Thank you for supporting me. I&#8217;ll give you a big hug &amp; we can all love each other. Thank you.&#8221; Novak Djokovic French Open Feat 2023 After a fantastic start to 2023, Djokovic seemed to falter. Not winning any back-to-back tournaments would not raise an eyebrow for any other player. But for Djokovic, it can become a big deal. The former World No.1 did not win any tournaments following the Australian Open. His best record was making it to the semifinal in the Dubai Tennis Championships.

In the Italian Open, he reached the quarterfinal but lost to Holger Rune. With the Djoker enduring a slump in form, many didn&#8217;t consider him to be a favorite for the French Open title. To worsen his odds, Nole was suffering from an injury prior to the clay season. But he would prove all of his doubters wrong as he went past each player with ease, only dropping two sets on his way to the final. In the final, he went on to win against Casper Ruud in straight sets. After lifting the trophy, he went one step above Nadal in the all-time grand slam race. Novak Djokovic Australian Open 2023- A victorious hardcourt season The Djoker began this year with an impressive win in the Adelaide International. He won the tournament while dropping just one set throughout the entire tournament. After that, it was time to reclaim his throne on the hard courts of Melbourne after an absence of one year. In 2022, Djokovic was deported from Australia as he failed to comply with vaccination rules.? This year, the event became a topic of discussion as the country had relaxed its vaccine rules which allowed Djokovic to play in the tournament. Unfortunately, he could not maintain a controversy-free stint.

The Serbian ranks 23rd in the Forbes list of the world&#8217;s highest-paid athletes. Novak Djokovic early life Novak Djokovic began playing tennis when he was just four years old. Amidst difficult circumstances growing up, Djokovic still ended up as the best under-14 player from Europe and went on to shine the brightest on the ATP tour. The Serbian won his first Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open as a 21-year-old. Coming to his personal life, Djokovic started dating Jelena Ristic in 2005, and the couple got engaged in 2013. A year later, they got married in &#8216;Sveti Stefan&#8217;, a hotel resort in Montenegro. The couple has two children &#8211; Stefan and Tara Djokovic. His parents are professional skiers, and his?brothers are professional tennis players. All of them are based in Serbia. Novak Djokovic&#8217;s tennis career (2001-2023) Djokovic started out on a successful path by becoming Europe&#8217;s top-ranked under-14 player and was also part of Serbia&#8217;s Junior Davis Cup event. His best record from the junior tour came at the Australian Open, where he reached the semifinals in 2004. Having been considered a player who made regular appearances in the semifinals at slams, Djokovic found his first major title at the 2008 Australian Open. 2011 was the year when the Serbian star truly started his dominance against two of his biggest rivals -?Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Both these opponents frequently met Djokovic and were defeated by the Serb on most occasions. The Serb&#8217;s dominance continued even in 2021, where he won three Grand Slam titles and came close to winning an unprecedented Calendar Slam at the US Open.

He had to withdraw from the Australian Open. He found himself eliminated in the French Open in the quarterfinal. But he would maintain his Wimbledon streak as he won the title against Nick Kyrgios. Following the theme of the first slam, he had to withdraw from the US Open due to vaccination rules.? In 2023, Djokovic would shine even brighter than before. Starting the year with a 10th Australian Open title meant that he now equaled Rafa&#8217;s record. After the event, he would win the French Open for the third time and make it his 23rd grand slam, officially the most in men&#8217;s singles. Unfortunately, he would lose his winning streak in Wimbledon as he lost against Carlos Alcaraz in the final.? Rivalries Over the years, Djokovic had numerous rivalries on-court against top-tier players. But, his match-ups against Federer, Nadal, and Andy Murray always enthralled fans and turned out to be engaging to watch. Out of the three big opponents Djokovic has had over the years, it was his rivalry with Nadal that stands out. The duo played 59 matches against each other on the ATP tour, and Djokovic leads the tally by winning 30 contests.

REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier Their most recent interaction came at the quarterfinals of the 2022 French Open. In an engaging three-set battle, the Spaniard breezed past the Serb and went on to clinch the Roland Garros title. Coming to Djokovic&#8217;s rivalry with Federer, it can be considered one of the most entertaining rivalries on the ATP tour. The duo had numerous close battles, but it is the Serb who takes the pivotal lead once again. Both Federer and Djokovic played 50 times on tour, with Djokovic winning 27 matches. Their most recent contest came in the semifinals of the 2020 Australian Open. Djokovic easily defeated Federer in straight sets. Against Murray, Djokovic had a rather comfortable rivalry as he was clearly the dominating player whenever they entered a tennis court. There were instances where Murray took control, but overall, it was the Serbian star who led the head-to-head with 25 victories compared to Murray&#8217;s 11.

The 16-year age gap makes no difference when the two players battle it out on the toughest stages. Alcaraz and Djokovic have faced each other three times. The Spanish rising star is in the lead; the only player in the rivalry to be above the Serbian. They first met in the 2022 Madrid Open, where Alcaraz won.
