While the tennis world keeps counting title after title being added up in Djokovic’s name, fans might soon see him cross the number of the tennis legend Jimmy Connors. Besides this, Djokovic also reflected on Rafael Nadal‘s record wins at the Roland Garros.

A positive response to competing Rafael Nadal’s feat

As the conversation about his upcoming goals continued, Novak Djokovic responded to the hypothetical odds of playing until the age of 50 to match or get past Rafael Nadal’s French Open titles. The question came his way for two main reasons: Nadal holds a record for 14 French Open titles and he might soon be making a comeback in 2024.

Djokovic, acknowledging the facts that make it hard to conquer the feat, mentioned, “I don’t know, I’m sure my wife wouldn’t be very happy. I am very satisfied with everything I have achieved. I do not have to look at Rafa’s record in Paris. I have many that I’m proud of and that are part of history. If I were to retire right now, I could only be happy and proud of what I’ve done.”

The Serbian tennis maestro made it clear that, at this point, he is not looking forward to breaking Nadal’s record in Paris. Highlighting the value that his own records hold, the Serbian tennis legend answered in an impressive way. As the tennis world looks forward to Djokovic’s continued run for Jimmy Connors’ record and also waits for Nadal’s comeback, the upcoming season is surely going to be a worthy watch.
