Following his incredible 2022 run on the professional tennis front, former British-Canadian tennis player Greg Rusedski has given predictions for the 2023 season. As per the tennis sensation himself, Novak Djokovic is fit and can play for another few years. During this period, he can win many Grand Slam titles.

I mean let’s not forget Martina Navratilova won her last Wimbledon title at 39 years of age so I see Novak out there if he’s healthy for another four, five years so imagine how many more Slams he’s going to have underneath his belt. I don’t think he wants to get the men’s record, I think he wants to get the all-time record. Margaret Court 24. Serena 23, he wants to have 25,” he said in an interview as reported by The Express.
