The 24-time Grand Slam tennis champion tells Croatian football manager Slaven Bilić that he hopes to defend his men’s singles title at a sixth Olympic Games.
Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has revealed that the desire to defend his Olympic title at the Olympic Games LA 2028 keeps him in the sport.
Great Britain’s Andy Murray remains the only player to have defended an Olympic singles title, and Serbia’s Djokovic would be 41 by the time he has the opportunity to do the same in Los Angeles.
Despite managing his workload with noticeably fewer tournaments in recent seasons, the 24-time Grand Slam champion told football manager Slaven Bilić that he wants to play at sixth Games, having won singles bronze on his debut at Beijing 2008.
“The only thing that at this moment, professionally speaking, I have in my vision at this point,” Djokovic said in an interview.
“And it’s interesting when we talk about these achievements and the Olympics that stand out and redemption, the only thing that I have in my head, which gives me motivation, is the Olympics of 2028 in Los Angeles.
“And playing for the national team and Grand Slams. But not even the Grand Slams, not as much as the Olympics.”
The 38-year-old’s victory over Carlos Alcaraz in the Paris 2024 final completed his quest to win every major accolade the sport can offer.
That includes winning all four Grand Slams, the Davis Cup, the ATP Finals and every Masters event.
Tennis at LA 2028 will be hosted at the Tennis Center in Carson, which is currently a USTA high-performance training base.
