Serbian World Number 5 Novak Djokovic who had a great 2022 season despite being unable to play a lot of tournaments is already back training. As most of the tennis players are enjoying the off-season, the 21-time Grand Slam champion seems to be super motivated to come back in full flow the following season.
In a recent interview, the Serbian had projected on how he needs to train more than the young guns he has to face in the coming years. “35 is not 15 or 25” was his comment. The words were seen practically as we could see from the video circulated where the Serbian champion is seen at the athletic stadium, Marbella.
The fans are overwhelmed on seeing the former World number 1 back in training as he will look to win his 10th title in the Australian open in the coming month. some have commented that the 35-year-old is looking fitter than ever as he was seen running training in the video. The rival fan bases are already in fear as most of their favorite players are still enjoying the vacation.
Novak Djokovic won 5 titles in 2022 despite missing a lot of tournaments
Serbian World No.5 Novak Djokovic has won almost everything where he got a chance this year. After missing most of the tournaments, including 2 majors, he is still inside the top 5 despite getting no points on winning Wimbledon. This in short proves how effective he has been in the tournaments he got a chance to play this year.
Including the triumph in Wimbledon, Djokovic jointly owns the record for the most ATP titles won with Carlos Alcaraz in 2022(5). With the ATP finals title, Djokovic became the first player since Roger Federer in 2010 to win at least one title each of each level in the same calendar season. The Serbian won 5 titles this season: 1 ATP250,1 ATP500,1 ATP1000, 1 ATP Finals, and 1 Grand Slam.
Djokovic also increases the ‘Big Titles’ count to 65 this year- the highest ever in history. The closest competitor is Rafael Nadal with 59. (For the uninitiated, ‘Big titles’ include the titles won in Grand Slam championships, ATP Finals, ATP Masters 1000 tournament, and an Olympic singles gold medal)
By ending the year as number 5 in the rankings, Novak Djokovic has finished the year inside Top-5 for the 15th time (1 behind All-time record held by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal with 16 Top-5 year finishes). With a bunch of records broken despite not playing a number of tournaments this year, a rejuvenated Djokovic will try to break more in 2023. The green signal to play Australian Open will be a huge boost for him as well.
