Djokovic is one win away from his 100th career singles title.<\/p>\n
Might 2024 have well been the strangest year of Novak Djokovic\u2019s career?<\/p>\n
After having reached all four Grand Slam finals in 2023, only once did he got that far in 2024, a run at Wimbledon that concluded with a straight-set loss to Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n
Having won anywhere from two to 11 tournament titles annually for a staggering 18 consecutive years, Djokovic earned but one in the last year. But it was a victory that had incredible personal and collective meaning for Djokovic: At last, at the age of 37, he\u2019d earned Olympic gold, in this case beating Alcaraz, 7-6(3), 7-6(2), in one of the year\u2019s most dazzling matches.<\/p>\n
That was Djokovic\u2019s 99th career singles title.<\/p>\n
The thinking here is that Djokovic has spent this fall harnessing himself\u2014a combination of rest, reflection, and, per usual, calibrating the best possible series of practice routines. From there, he will make a major effort to excel in Australia at the major where he\u2019s had the most success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
