Andy Roddick recently shared his perspective on Novak Djokovic’s prospects of adding to his Grand Slam tally as the Serbian star continues to recover from injury. Roddick, a former world No. 1 and winner of the 2003 US Open, expressed confidence in Djokovic’s ability to win more major titles, highlighting him as “the best grass-court player in the world.” However, Roddick also cautioned that time is an undefeated opponent, noting Djokovic’s recent challenges with injury.
Novak Djokovic, the current record-holder with 24 Grand Slam titles, clinched his latest major victory at the 2023 US Open. Despite a tough 2024 season marked by injury setbacks, including a medial meniscus tear in his right knee during the French Open, Djokovic remains determined to compete at the upcoming Wimbledon Championships starting July 1.
Roddick emphasized Djokovic’s resilience and competitive spirit but acknowledged the physical toll of recurring injuries on the 37-year-old athlete. He underscored Djokovic’s pursuit of tennis history, positioning him as a formidable contender in future tournaments despite the challenges posed by age and health.
Eugenie Bouchard, a Wimbledon runner-up in 2014, echoed Roddick’s sentiment, predicting Djokovic could secure two more Grand Slam victories based on his demonstrated motivation and competitive drive. Bouchard emphasized that Djokovic’s success hinges on maintaining his health and endurance throughout tournaments, dismissing concerns over his ongoing motivation.
Both Roddick and Bouchard’s assessments underscore Djokovic’s enduring presence and ambition in the tennis world, highlighting his potential to surpass current records if he can overcome physical setbacks and sustain his competitive edge.
