Novak Djokovic is gearing up to defend his US Open title, aiming for a historic 25th Grand Slam victory that would set him apart in tennis history. At 37, he seeks to become the first man to successfully defend the US Open title since Roger Federer in 2008, and he is motivated by his rivalries with younger players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Djokovic emphasized his ongoing competitive spirit and desire to inspire young tennis players, despite having recently won an Olympic gold medal. He expressed excitement for the famous night sessions at Arthur Ashe Stadium, highlighting their unique atmosphere. Although he has not played on hard courts leading up to the tournament, he feels ready and focused on his goal. Djokovic's determination to continue making history is evident as he prepares for his first match against Radu Albot.
