Novak Djokovic Defends US Open Title in 2024

Novak Djokovic enters the 2024 US Open as the defending champion and a fresh Olympic gold medalist, aiming for his 25th Grand Slam title, a record he seeks to achieve at Flushing Meadows. He is on track to become the first player since Roger Federer in 2008 to successfully defend the US Open title. Djokovic emphasized his enduring competitive spirit, stating his goal remains to 'fight for the trophy' despite having already achieved a career Golden Slam. With the tournament starting on August 26, he expressed excitement about playing in the famed night sessions, highlighting the unique atmosphere. Djokovic faces stiff competition from younger players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who have recently bested him in other Grand Slam events. As he prepares for his first match against Radu Albot, Djokovic aims not only for victory but also to create more tennis history.
