In 2023, Novak Djokovic made it to his ninth Wimbledon final, defeating Jannik Sinner and extending his record to 35 career grand slam finals. Widely regarded as the greatest male player in history, Djokovic, now 36, shows no signs of slowing down or hinting at retirement.
While Djokovic had already clinched victories at the Australian Open and French Open in 2023, he fell short at Wimbledon, losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. Despite not being his most frequently won tournament, Wimbledon holds a special place in Djokovic’s heart, with few players enjoying success at SW19 like the Serbian from Belgrade.

Who has achieved a Grand Slam in tennis?
A Grand Slam in tennis refers to winning all four major tournaments in a calendar year. This remarkable feat has been achieved by only a select few players throughout history.
American Don Budge was the first to accomplish a Grand Slam in 1938, followed by Australian Rod Laver as the only other men’s singles player to repeat the feat. In women’s singles, Maureen Connolly was the first to achieve a Grand Slam in 1953, with Margaret Court and Steffi Graf joining her in this prestigious club.
Most recently, Dylan Alcott managed a Grand Slam in 2021 in wheelchair quad singles. While Djokovic and Serena Williams have held all four major titles simultaneously, neither has managed to secure all four in the same calendar year.
