Being a part of tennis history, is Novak Djokovic destined to conquer more Grand Slam titles and etch his name deeper into the sport? Last year, after his 24th Grand Slam title, many felt he would continue to dominate the court and win major titles this year too. But after his Australian Open defeat, confidence in this idea seems to have taken a knock.

Recently American tennis coach, Brad Gilbert, made a bold prophecy regarding the Serbian tennis player’s upcoming year. Along with that, he also detailed his thoughts on Djokovic maintaining his relationship with Father Time.

Recently, in an interview with Front Office Sports Today, Coco Gauff‘s coach talked about how there is a lot of scope for the 24-time Grand Slam champion to win more major titles this year, given that at 36 he has been doing quite well. Not only that, he also highlighted how the world’s number one, even as a parent of two, is giving his 100% on the court.

He stated, “We are seeing athletes now, nobody beats Father Time, but we see a lot of athletes prolong Father Time like more than we have ever seen….” As a father to Stefan and Tara, while a lot of tennis players focus on family time, he has done more than that at that age.

Along with that, “So the expectation was, can he do it again? But like for me, if you went one or two this year, he is tied with the all-time record of 24, I wouldn’t be shocked if he got to 27-28. I still think he’s got more left in him.” Further, he also mentioned how he wouldn’t be surprised if Djokovic wins more titles this year and writes his name in history.

A few months ago, tennis analyst Mats Wilander talked about the extraordinary potential of Djokovic and speculated that the legendary player from Serbia would complete a calendar Grand Slam in 2024.

He stated, “So I have a prediction to make. I think that next year, there is something like hasn’t done and you know, it’s the calendar Grand Slam next year, we got the Olympics, as well as the golden slam. We got the Davis Cup again. So I don’t know why there’s any reason to think he’s not going to win four out of those six next year.” 

Furthermore, Wilander shows his belief in Djokovic’s ability by predicting that he might win the Olympic gold medal soon. Not only that, this recognition highlights Djokovic’s position as a powerful player in the tennis world and heightens expectations for his possible future achievements.
