Djokovic's 25th Grand Slam Dream: Age a Factor, But Retirement Not Yet

  • Marcos Baghdatis believes Novak Djokovic's chances of winning a 25th Grand Slam are decreasing with age but he remains competitive.
  • Djokovic is still a top-five player, capable of competing at the highest level.
  • His retirement hinges on his mindset and continued enjoyment of the game, according to Baghdatis.
  • Djokovic last won a Grand Slam at the 2023 US Open (his 24th); recent majors have gone to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
  • A 25th Slam would make Djokovic the oldest Grand Slam singles champion, surpassing Ken Rosewall's 1972 record.

Why It Matters: Despite age, Djokovic remains a top contender for a 25th Grand Slam, with retirement depending on his mindset.
