How many Grand Slam titles has Novak Djokovic won?
The current Australian Open and French Open winner will be looking to add another major in his career by lifting the Wimbledon trophy.
Novak Djokovic will be back into action at the Hurligham tournament, an exhibition event where the Serb will be able to get in touch with the grass courts and do it while playing against other top players before Wimbledon.
After winning Roland Garros earlier this month, Nole said he would take a long break till the third major of the season started, but he recently changed his plans and decided to grab a racket earlier than expected.
The 36-year-old maestro lost his No. 1 status once again to Carlos Alcaraz, who got to the top of the ATP rankings once again after winning the Queen’s. The Spanish star is expected to be among his biggest menaces at the All-England Club.
Djokovic, a record man in the Grand Slam events
With Roger Federer retired and Rafael Nadal out of action since January, the member of the ‘Big Three’ has the green light to keep distancing himself from his legendary colleagues when it comes to winning Grand Slam tournaments.
This year, Novak has already won the Australian Open and the French Open, becoming the player with the most majors won ever in the men’s category, overtaking Rafa Nadal, by lifting his 23rd trophy in Paris.
With a total of 94 titles as a professional, Djokovic has won 10 Australian Open, three French Open, seven Wimbledon, and three US Open trophies.
Moreover, he has also won the ATP Tour Finals six times, led the Serbian team to its first Davis Cup title in 2010, and to the inaugural ATP Cup title in 2020, and grabbed the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
With an outstanding career record of 1058 wins and 210 defeats (83.4%), Djokovic’s next big challenge is to try to conquer all four majors the very same year, a feat that doesn’t happen since Rod Laver made it possible back in 1969.
