How many slams will Djokovic finish his career with?

[djokovic the conqueror]

30 slams is the goal for Djokovic. 33 slams will be the maximum.
CYGS is a good possibility this year. He‘s never defended RG or the USO, so he has to win the USO this year to defend both slams next year.
Djokovic will go for 10 Wimbledons because nobody has ever had double digit slam wins in more than one slam.

Neither Nadal nor Fed would have stopped playing if they could have maintained the level Novak has today. So no reason to think Novak will call it quits soon

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Maybe 3 more. To be honest I’m relaxed now though. I won’t even reverse jinx or anything for future slams.

Novak can lose in the first round of every major now and he’s still the best. I will be happy to see new winners emerge as it’s tennis needs that to keep evolving.

I think motivation could be an issue and a bit more physical decline into next year and so on. It’s just a pleasure to see him still competing so well at 36 which is rare to see in sport.

On natural surfaces he no longer has Nadal, Federer, Murray, Wawrinka as rivals, not even finalists like Soderling or Berdych.
On hard courts, his dominance at the Australian Open still continues but the US Open presents his big competition.
Let's see if Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune wake up and start challenging him on that surface.
If one of them manages to beat him in the GS tournaments, it will the others that the Serbian player is far from unbeatable.

He won’t have motivation to win much more I think. Maybe 1 or 2 more to make sure RAFA for sure can’t surpass him. He’s gonna feel empty when Nadal retires next year.

Yeh I expect a slow decline. Djokovic would need a really serious issue to not be a contender, such as either a sudden loss of motivation that he can't rekindle or a serious and nagging injury. But he doesn't appear to have any particularly chronic issues and he looks as greedy as ever. Some wonder if his motivation might fall off the cliff were he to complete the CYGS, but I don't see it.

I didnt read what you guys wrote because im to selfish and I think I know it the best.

my perspective:

His kids will be older soon and his wife will be less sexy - so Novak will maybe have even more free time and will for Tennis and cement himself not only on Earth but in the whole Universe.

The sad part is that this World will end sooner than he will get to 30GS-s.

I think we will have more pandemic like scenarios which will hinder Novak on his way.

One world government is coming with all the technological **** together.

Digital currency etc.

Dont fall for this **** or you will go straight to hell. And I am not even kidding.

So to cut the story short:

On this Earth Noles records will be never broken (if he stays healthy).

and I dont know if they play tennis in the new Earth (heaven on Earth) because i dont know exactly if we will have super bodies or not.

I was such a Fed fan...then I switched to Nadal.
but now I switched to Novak...because he is the true soldier. He stood up for his rights while everybody accepted whatever the goverment wanted from them.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

If he keeps playing.. then 30 plus since hes a master at peaking for slams. He probably won't play after 2025 though but I have no doubt he can win slams into his 40's if he wanted to. Hes that good and dedicated and these surfaces are vacations for his playing style

 

[Razer]

AO - 2 more can be won
FO - 0 more left, this year's french is his last win I think so, next year no way can he triump over Alcaraz/Rune.
W - 2 more left maybe or maybe 1 left
USO - This year is maybe his last chance

So depends on what he converts from all this, by the end of 2025 he could have 26-27 if he is injury free and converts AOs and W properly, but then who knows.... nothing is certain in life.

 

[Jonesy]

Sticking to my original prediction when i joined this forum of 27 slams. But i would be pleased to be wrong as it is notorious that Novak is aiming for 30.

 

[bro]

He plays best when he is in the lead. And he is now in the lead. I think he can find enough motivation for the next 5 years, if healthy. Federer showed him that it is possible to play Wimbledon finals at "old" age. Federer would win 11 Wimbledon titles if Novak did not stop him. So Novak will try to win 10 Wimbledon titles in total, as he really cares more about Wimbledon than AO and no one is there to stop him on that surface.

I cannot make a good prediction, as even Srđan's crazy statements turned out to be underestimations. But 25 or 27 or 30 or 33 all sound nice. My favorite number being 33.

While Djokovic continues to defy the laws of nature, for him to reach 30 or more Major titles at the age of 36 or older is a sheer madnesss.

 

[I Am Finnish]

30

This sounds like a wish rather than reality. Nole will not stop until he cannot win any more GS. He has said that before. He is motivated to win as many as possible. Knowing Nole he probably wants to win 30, a CYGS, and a gold medal. He doesn't care if Nadal is playing or not. He probably loves the idea of completely blowing by Nadal and Fed to the point where even their most delusional fanboys will have to admit that Nole is GOAT. All of those booing fans motivate him further.

 

[fedfan24]

He should easily win CYGS this year and next which takes him to 29. After then I think minimum he wins Wimbledon in 25 taking him to 30. Probably wins AO that year too and one more USO.

Conservative - 30
Optimistic - 36

Nice parody, fedfan24.

Djokovic will finish his career at Wimbledon 2024 . . .

You promise?
Please, please, please, please, please . . . .

43

Very exciting as we could find out this season

This! I do think once he knows Rafa is done he has no reason to continue, his kids are growing up fast and it doesn’t make sense for him.

 

[HashDump]

Djokovic might win AO and Wimbledon, and then he will not win a slam in 2025, and than will retire on AO 2026. So 26 is safe bet.

 

[borg number one]

I think 30 is a distinct possibility depending on the competition. If he doesn’t have a strong, consistent adversary, I think he could easily rack up majors through about 2026.
