Djokovic's chances of winning his 25th Grand Slam are in doubt

(Dan Tri) - Tennis legend Boris Becker believes it is unlikely that Novak Djokovic will win his 25th Grand Slam before retiring.

Former German tennis star Boris Becker expects Novak Djokovic to achieve his 25th Grand Slam in his career. However, since November 2023, the Serbian star has not won a Grand Slam or ATP Masters 1000 title, he only won the ATP 250 tournament, the Geneva Open 2025 in Switzerland.

Boris Becker commented: "I think to win the Grand Slam, Djokovic must overcome both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, that is too big a challenge for Nole right now.

“When he’s at his best, both Alcaraz and Sinner are way ahead of Djokovic. That’s frustrating for Djokovic, but I think he’s realistic. It’s very difficult for him to win another Grand Slam, as time runs out.”

According to experts' predictions, Novak Djokovic will likely attend the 2025 US Open and the 2026 Australian Open before retiring. Nole has set high goals in these two tournaments, but this is the time when both Alcaraz and Sinner are in very good form.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have dominated the last seven Grand Slam tournaments. The two current ATP rankings leaders have won nine Grand Slams in the past two years and have met in the finals of the last two Grand Slams, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

At the age of 38, Novak Djokovic has played consistently and reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon. However, Nole had almost no chance when facing his younger junior Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

In his career, Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slams, including 10 Australian Open titles (2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023), 3 Roland Garros titles (2016, 2021, 2023), 7 Wimbledon titles (2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022) and 4 US Open titles (2011, 2015, 2018, 2023).
