Although Novak Djokovic stands alone with 24 Grand Slam singles titles to his name, the Serbian aims to add more to his already impressive tally. It’s no surprise that the World No. 1 has shifted his focus to excelling at Grand Slam events as he begins to wind down his career.
The 37-year-old Novak Djokovic has made limited appearances on tour this season, competing in only four events between the Australian Open and Roland Garros. He has yet to win a title this year and has experienced some surprising losses along the way.
In an interview after his second-round Roland Garros win, Novak Djokovic was asked whether his motivation to perform at his best level varied based on the tournaments he played.”Your motivation when you’re at Grand Slams seems as strong as ever,” a journalist asked. “I just wanted to know what it’s like during the down weeks when you’re training sometimes. Does the motivation still burn as strong as ever? Are there ever moments where you’re struggling a little to keep it going?”
The defending Roland Garros champion responded by stating that he found it challenging to stay motivated to be at the top during regular ATP tournaments. Djokovic admitted that his primary focus is on competing at Grand Slam events and the upcoming Olympic Games.
