Tennis analyst shares report as Novak Djokovic looks forward to season 2024

In a recent podcast, tennis expert Gill Gross shed light on Novak Djokovic’s upcoming tennis season, highlighting that he might shift his focus towards the clay court tournaments. Gross suggested that Djokovic, keeping a strong eye on winning his fourth career Grand Slam at Roland Garros, would fully dedicate himself to the clay court game like he has never done before. Gross mentioned, “I don’t think there’s any doubt that the time of year that is going to be most important to Novak next year will be the clay.”

Novak Djokovic has achieved almost everything in tennis, but he is not satisfied yet. As the legend looks forward to the upcoming tennis season, his goals are focused more on the titles that he lacks so far. The world number one, while having enough grand slams to his portfolio, will now be looking forward to clinching victories at the clay court tournaments. While the legend stands with just 3 Roland Garros titles, his 2024 run, according to the tennis expert Gill Gross, is going to be focused on that.

Djokovic, already holding a remarkable record in all other feats, will be seeing the upcoming clay court season as a crucial moment in his career. Gross further added, “When it comes to motivation, when it comes to emptying the tank, mentally and physically, in terms of energy exertion, yeah, that’s gonna be the time of year where Novak is going to be wanting to be firing on all cylinders, no doubt about it. Particularly because of the Olympics.”

The aim of winning a fourth Roland Garros title, an Olympic Gold, and achieving a three-time Golden Masters at Monte Carlo seems to be the new desire for Djokovic’s motivation.

Djokovic himself shares upcoming goals for 2024

Novak Djokovic, after recently achieving the grand feat of holding the world number one position for more than 400 weeks, recently revealed his ambition to surpass Jimmy Connors’ record of 109 singles titles in men’s history. Djokovic, who won three Grand Slam titles in 2023, is currently 11 titles behind Connors and five behind Roger Federer, who has 103 titles. “I’m ready for this challenge, I just think about getting to the big date healthy,” Djokovic said.

“I know myself perfectly, I don’t want to be arrogant, but I know that if I’m well physically and mentally, I’m able to do it. It also sounded unreal to win three Grand Slam titles this year. I would love to beat the record of titles won by Jimmy Connors.” While the legend shared his ambition to cross Jimmy Connors’ record, he mentioned that his progress is now aimed at creating a historical name that players in the upcoming generations would remember. While the Serbian tennis star runs for more titles, his dream to catch the number is quite obvious to be achieved soon.
