Novak Djokovic Ready For 20th US Open And 25th Major Title
· Sports · Indian Express, NDTV Sports, Channels Television
Novak Djokovic has stated that he is as prepared as possible for his 20th US Open campaign as he pursues a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. Seeded fourth, Djokovic enters the tournament following a first-round exit at the Cincinnati Open and a Wimbledon semifinal run. His path to the title may be impacted by the absence of world No. 1 Jannik Sinner due to a knee injury and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz returning from a four-month injury layoff. Djokovic is scheduled to face Argentina's Mariano Navone in his opening-round match on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court. Achieving a 25th major would break his tie with Margaret Court and establish a new benchmark in men's tennis longevity.
Why it matters
Novak Djokovic's pursuit of a 25th Grand Slam title marks a historic milestone in professional tennis, potentially setting an unprecedented record for singles majors.
