Novak Djokovic Aims for 25th Grand Slam

Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, has announced plans to continue playing for 'years to come' as he prepares for the new season, aiming to improve on a disappointing 2024 where he failed to win a Grand Slam. At 37, Djokovic is focused on regaining his ranking, currently at No. 7, and has committed to playing more tournaments in 2025 than he did last year. He expressed excitement for the upcoming Australian Open, where he hopes to secure his 25th major title, and will be coached by former rival Andy Murray. Djokovic emphasized his love for the game and competition, rejecting retirement talks despite turning 38 in May. He will begin his campaign at the Brisbane International against Australian wildcard Rinky Hijikata, marking his first tournament since losing to Jannik Sinner in the Shanghai Masters final. With the retirement of fellow 'Big Four' members, he is now competing against a new generation led by Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
