“This Sh*t Never Gets Old”- Fans React to Young Novak Djokovic’s First Training Session as He Wins His 24th Grand Slam at Us Open 2023

As a renowned and well-known figure in the tennis world, Novak Djokovic is the first male tennis player to have won 24 Grand Slam tournaments. Everyone is familiar with the iconic and renowned player, regardless of whether they are a fan of the sport or not.

However, a young boy who began playing tennis at the age of 4 is responsible for this outstanding career. After receiving a mini-racket with a soft foam ball from his parents when he was four years old, the young boy started playing tennis. According to the Serbian’s father, it also became “the most beloved toy in his life”

Coach reveals future plans for Novak Djokovic after US Open 2023

The 36-year-old defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 in New York in thrilling scenes at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. This victory was his 24th Grand Slam title in his career overall. Goran Ivanisevic has also grown more accustomed to the post-Grand Slam triumph ritual of Djokovic. He took over as Novak Djokovic’s coach in 2019.

He won three of this season’s four titles and made it to the Wimbledon final. This helped Djokovic increase his record of having won more Grand Slam titles than any other male in tennis history. He has demonstrated that age is just a number. Ivanisevic claims that the Serb is currently focusing on the Olympics in the next five years.

Ivanisevic answered hilariously when asked about Djokovic’s aspirations for the future and whether he would be satisfied with his professional life if he won another Major the following year. Reassuring the audience that he hopes to compete in the 2028 Olympics. Djokovic has accomplished a lot on the tour, but he lacks one honor in his trophy collection: a gold medal from the Olympics.

With the current form and gameplay Djokovic has showcased, it doesn’t look like a fruit far up on the tree for the Serbian. Fans are sure if it’s anyone, it is Nole who can achieve the feat. Djokovic has finally tied with Margaret Court for winning 24 major slams in the history of tennis.
