Novak Djokovic is one of the most vocal tennis players currently, as the Serb has always tried to open up about his unfiltered feelings. In a press conference at the United Cup, Nole opened up about the changes that the sport of tennis needs. 

The main context of this statement was the news that has emerged that Saudi Arabia is looking to invest in tennis. Moreover, a new premium tour can be formed between the four Grand Slams, the ATP 1000’s masters, and the ATP Finals.

I’m generally always supportive of improving the sport. I have said this many times before, that I think that tennis is not using its full potential. We are one of the most globally watched and popular sports in the world, but I think that we have been quite conservative and conventional in certain aspects and that unfortunately hasn’t really been a great appeal to the younger audience.
In the press conference, Nole said

Previously, World No. 5 Jessica Pegula opened up about this news from Saudi Arabia. She thought that the premium Tour was going to happen eventually. She further said that money talks and Saudi Arabia has infinite amounts with them.

Novak Djokovic and Olga Danilovic made sure that Serbia could end the year on a happy note. The duo earned a crucial win over China’s Zhang Zhizhen and Zheng Quinwen.

The Serbians won seven of the final ten points to clinch a 2-1 victory for Serbia in the opening match of Group E. Personally, for Nole, it has been a smashing 2023, where he won seven titles, including three major Grand Slam titles.

The 2024 season poses new challenges for the Serb. With his arch-career rival, Rafael Nadal, returning to Brisbane International, the Serb can expect to face tougher resilience and grit. 

Moreover, with the Paris Olympics around the corner, Nole would have his eyes on the Olympic gold, which is the only thing missing from his elite trophy cabinet.
