‘Hot on That Trail’- Jimmy Connors’ Record in Danger as Andy Roddick Points to Novak Djokovic’s Unsatiable Appetite for Glory

The season of 2023 ended well for Novak Djokovic. Not only did he earn another ATP finals title but also went closer to breaking the record of the veteran tennis maestro Jimmy Connors. Connors held a significant record in men’s singles for a century almost. At least, his colleague Andy Roddick thinks so. However, the way Rune, Kyrgios, and Brad Gilbert praised Djokovic’s tennis skills, that dream isn’t far away from becoming a reality!

Novak Djokovic not only won the Nitto ATP 2023 Finals but also showed a remarkable performance throughout the tournament. Fans were surprised to see this thirty-six-year-old tennis giant rocking once again on the court. Now that he bagged another victory, people are assured he will break Connors’ record soon.

Now Djokovic’s tremendous performance brought him 98 trophies including his recent win at the 2023 ATP Finals. This made him only five titles away from Federer’s record. Now the way the world’s number-one player is not catching a break, the audience is assured that Federer’s record will soon be broken. In a recent podcast, Andy Roddick dropped an amazing comment on Djokovic’s hard work to present himself as a legendary personality in tennis. Roddick said- “He wants that all time titles number that Connors has, that’s what’s going to drive him throughout the next couple of years. And he’s hot on that trail.”

Jimmy Connors has a record of winning the most singles men’s titles in tennis with prestigious 109 trophies. This record has been approached by many tennis players before but none could truly achieve it for almost a century.

Now people are not surprised seeing Roddick’s comment. This is because the way Djokovic is improving day by day, he will break Connors’s record soon. Now that the difference in trophies between them is just 10, the challenge is not hard for the world’s number-one player!

This is not the first time Andy Roddick revealed something truly great about his colleague Novak Djokovic. Previously in a match of the group stage, when Italy’s Jannik Sinner defeated Djokovic, Roddick came in support of the world’s number-one player.

Roddick commented: “Hey that might have been the best match ever played.” Although in that match luck didn’t work out for Djokovic but Roddick didn’t lose his hope on the Serbian legend. He further added: “Novak played well today. He doesn’t often play that well… there were winning points, right?”

While winning the ATP 2023 Finals surely helped Djokovic to come some steps closer to his dream of breaking Connors’ record, he played well throughout the tournament. For a player like him, that performance surely matters more than winning titles. His fans would agree to this as well. What do you think?
