Olympics easily.

I feel if he doesn't win it this year he'll get very disappointed and experience massive loss of motivation, thus end his career maybe at the end of the year or during the next one.
 
#25!
especially RG for 4 CGS
or W or USO for a record tying are also very good

but I would be glad with OG too, not as happy as for another AO but still
 
1 more Slam would break Court's record and make him unquestioned Slam GOAT but winning the OSGM would complete his resumé of winning everything of note in tennis. Ideally he should do both but the Olympics only comes round once every 4 years so this may be his last chance to get that done whereas he will have more chances to add to the Slam record so he should focus on the OSGM IMO.
 
Really doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have the golden calendar slam which is the holy grail. No man has achieved. Only Graf. 2021 was his only chance and he came up short

That’s ok. Something for Sinner to shoot for

He breaks the tie with Court to hold the most slams of any singles player ever, man or woman. And he doesn't have a CYGS, so he does not have it all regardless.

Nothing should ever supercede a slam win.

My favorite Court "AO" win is 1961:

One non-Australian player, top 8 seeds are Australian.

Well you can only play who is in front of you and, as the country's top female player, she was always expected to play her home Slam.

Yeah I altered my post but too late for you to see it. Forgot about Court for the moment but I still think the OSGM could be his last possible chance given it occurs only every 4 years whereas he will have many more chances to top Court's record so still going with that in this exceptional circumstance.

At his age, everything could be his last chance. He may never win another slam again.
 
Depends what slam it is.

I’d prefer him to win an olympic gold over another Australia or French.

However, I’d prefer him tying the Wimbledon record or open era us open record over Olympic gold.

Overall it’s a tough choice. To be honest he has the most slams of any male player which most important so overall I might lean olympic gold to complete set.

True but the Slams still come round with much more regularity than the Olympics.

It doesn't mean he will win one. He is already the oldest winner of RG and USO and only one guy won one slam older than him ever. At 37, he has one foot in the grave, the other foot is slipping as far as slams are concerned. Cannot give up a slam for a lesser title, no matter what that is at this age. He is not 30.

Djokovic should win major #25, and with that, he would be at the top of the Best of the Rest list, but not the GOAT classification, which is the realm of /distinction for the players who won the Grand Slam, such as Court, et al.

Well, if he comes out of this season with the OSGM finally secured he will have rounded off his magnificent career completely. Realistically it would be his last chance to do that. Not saying he should give up on the Slams and I think both are still doable for him this season (just about).

But the best non-Australian players were not expected to play the "Australian Open."

Even in the 90s some top players were skipping the Australian Open. To think wins in the 60s had any sort of significance is just... idiocy.

I agree but I'm just saying. None of that was Court's fault and, like it or not, the AO was already considered a Slam so her wins there will always be included in her Slam record and therefore in the official record books.
 
I'm not a Margaret Court detractor. She was an absolutely dominant player, but not only was she not completely within the OE (so it's hard for me to compare her with the OE Big 4 of Serena, Steffi, Martina and Chris) but of course, it's a totally different tour. It doesn't matter to me who has more slams between the two. Apples and ...hot dogs.

If-if-if- Novak could only win one -- any of the slams or Olympics (singles) gold, I think I'd lean to the gold medal. I don't necessarily value it more than another slam, but it is the one that he is missing, and one that he appears to prize the most.

I doubt Djokovic fans have any connection with Djokovic on this issue.
Djokovic cried on the court after losing the Olympics, twice.
Fans won't understand that pain, and are just obsessed with non-existent things like "goat".

I completely get it. You don't want Rune fans to vote because you're afraid he will take all the records.

I Agree that comparing men's slam count to the women's slam count, makes NO sense. However, the fact IS that the open era should NOT apply to women's tennis as there was NO women's pro tour like there was in the men's game, where most top players competed. ALL top women could and did complete on the women's amateur tour, before 1968 and in all the slams, if they wanted to. Therefore, Court won 192 official tournaments, BJK won 129, which is way more than Serena, Venus, Graf and other top players did. King and court often competed in doubles and mixed doubles, especially in the slams.

Good point(s). Admittedly, this is a side point to the thread, but my command of women's tennis history may be a little off.
There was in (1970 or 1971) a Virginia Slims pro circuit which came before the WTA. And by '73, the US Open offered the same prize money to men and women. While professionals could play at the men's slams by the middle of 1968, when was that truly opened for women?...I know that there was no competing tour. I would guess that the larger prize money available to women in the early 70s did make the sport more open to players outside of (and even within) US, Australia and Great Britain.
