How many more slams is Djokovic going to win?

Disagree. As a fan I admit his draws have been kind overall this year and he couldn’t do it. Next year he will be out the top 4 and maybe top 8 for slams. He’s going to have tough draws and he’s getting even older. We all need to face facts that he’s at the end. Maybe he can have another Fed Wimbledon 2019 Cinderella run but that’s the best we can hope for. I just hope he stays healthy and maybe win some smaller events before retirement.

I feel what screwed him this year was not having any real break between end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 - feel like he was catching up all year then….
However of course he is in decline and that is normal at 37…I’d still just about have him as favourite for AO…

People getting excited about a 37 year old losing blows my mind…Poppy didn’t beat the real Nole last night…Z didn’t beat the real Rafa at RG a few months ago….

Really?
Check out his wins and losses this year. It's pretty horrendous. Besides the olympics, which was anything but easy, and even his wimbledon route to final with a W/O wasn't exactly high level.

He's currently serving like my grandma, slow, tons of DF's. Movement is off. Again 'one of the worst matches i played'.

Sounds like me he's not been fresh the whole year, with one execption that probably cost him tons of mental energy. Meanwhile, the rest of the field is moving along. The losses Alaraz and Sinner have had this year only strengthen them for next year as they are very young with a good upwards curve and actively building and improving. And as quickly as thses cats came on the scene, new blood will join soon too.

ND first needs to get to his 'regular' level before talking on raising his game. He cannot rely on his aura anymore and he seems uninterested.

It's up to him ofcourse, but he's lightyears away from where he was. Does he want to continue like this crashing out of tournaments for a few more years?

That’s my whole point - I feel like he was never really fresh all year…Of course he is in decline - agreed their and normal at 37…

On what basis do you have him favourite for aussi open though? Based on the past? We need to realise things are changing and it’s only going to get more difficult.
 
Novak peaked when it mattered for him this year - Olympics.
Next year he can pick again for a slam.

I will write him off for slams if the following happens:
1. Regular losses to no-names. people are overreacting to an upset when he had no preparation before.
2. Losses to guys outside of Alcaraz/sinner. Med, Zed, Ruud… have shown no signs of being able to beat him so Djokovic is still the third favorite IMO
3. Alcaraz and sinner going consistently deep (SF) at every single slam. If one of them loses before SF, which happened in every slam this year, the door is wide open for Djokovic.

Yes the past indeed and that past not being that long ago - only 8/9 months ago he was best player in the world and I believe with a proper break he can still do it….
However I could of course be wrong…It ain’t like it was 3 years he was the best - only 8/9 months ago….
Let’s wait and see!

Not yet... If Fed was competitive for 1 more at the age of 38, I don't see why Novak wouldn't be? If there is no injury and he is motivated to train, he can still beat most of the players on tour.

Federer: 2003-2019.
Nadal: 2005-2022.
Djokovic: 2007-2024.

Do you know what the almost identical time span of the Big Three have in common?
That during that period they played their first and last final of a GS tournament.
In Nadal's case, he holds the record for the longest time span in men's tennis in the Open Era between his first and last Major title.

Djokovic needs to channel all his energy & determination towards AO 2025...... very important tournament.

His energy levels have been very bad in this tournament, his serve has also been terrible.

Yep. He accomplished his major goal for 2024. Now rest up and show up at AO fierce as a tiger. He only needs one more slam to make his already indelible mark. Get past Ms.Smithcourt.
