Novak Djokovic has declared himself in good shape as he prepares to chase a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title at the US Open in New York.
Djokovic's Fitness and Form
The Serbian star, who has struggled with injuries in recent months, said his body is responding well to the demands of the hard-court season. He has been practicing at Flushing Meadows and feels confident about his chances.
Djokovic, 38, is aiming to surpass Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 major singles titles. He currently shares the men's record with Rafael Nadal, but a victory in New York would put him alone at the top.
Road to the Final
Djokovic is seeded second behind Carlos Alcaraz, who beat him in last year's Wimbledon final. The draw has placed Djokovic in the top half, with a potential semifinal clash against Daniil Medvedev.
His first-round opponent is a qualifier, and he is expected to face tougher tests in the later rounds. Djokovic has won the US Open four times, with his most recent title coming in 2023.
Chasing History
A 25th Grand Slam title would cement Djokovic's status as the greatest of all time, a debate that has intensified in recent years. He has already won three of the four majors this year, missing only the French Open, where he lost to Alcaraz in the semifinals.
With the tournament beginning on Monday, Djokovic is eager to add another chapter to his legendary career. He said he is taking it one match at a time but is motivated by the opportunity to make history.
