Wimbledon 2025 best chance to win 25th Grand Slam: Novak Djokovic-OxBig News Network

Novak Djokovic believes Wimbledon 2025 could be his best chance to win a record 25th Grand Slam title. The former World No.1 hasn’t won a major since the 2023 US Open and recently had to wait over a year and a half to claim his 100th ATP title – becoming only the third player to reach that milestone – after his triumph at the Geneva Open.

Last year, Djokovic fell short at SW19, losing in straight sets to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. But with seven Wimbledon titles already under his belt, the 38-year-old said he feels confident and motivated to return to the court for the upcoming grass-court major.

“I would probably agree Wimbledon could be the best chance (of a 25th Grand Slam),” Djokovic said in the press conference before the tournament.

“Because of the results I have had, because of how I feel, how I play in Wimbledon – getting that extra push mentally and motivation to perform the best tennis at the highest level.”

Djokovic recently fell short of the final at the French Open, losing in the semi-finals to World No.1 Jannik Sinner. Speaking about his future, Djokovic said he doesn’t want to look too far ahead but expressed his desire to keep playing for as long as possible.

“Whether it could be my last dance, I’m not sure, as I’m not sure about Roland Garros [the French Open] or any other slam that I play next.

“My wish is to play for several more years, I would love to be healthy physically and also mentally motivated to keep on playing at the highest level,” Djokovic added.

After enduring four first-round exits this year, Djokovic has faced his share of struggles in recent months. At Wimbledon 2025, the 24-time Grand Slam champion will begin his campaign against France’s Alexandre Muller in the opening round on July 1.
