Novak Djokovic has been warned by former rival John Isner that he only has “two chances left” to win what would be a 25th Grand Slam singles title.
No man in history can match Djokovic’s staggering haul of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, with the Serbian two clear of great rival Rafael Nadal in the all-time standings.
The former world No 1 won three major titles in 2023, though he has failed to win a Grand Slam since sealing his fourth US Open crown towards the end of that year.
2024 proved to be Djokovic’s first Slamless year since 2017, and he was forced to retire injured in his Australian Open semi-final versus Alexander Zverev back in January.
Djokovic turns 38 in May, and debate has been rife as to whether he can challenge the likes of 23-year-old Jannik Sinner and 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz for majors in the future.
Few know as much about the challenge of facing an in-form Djokovic as Isner, with the American having been beaten in 10 of his 12 matches against the tennis great.
However, speaking on his Nothing Major podcast, the former world No 8 raised concerns as to whether the Serbian would win Grand Slams in the future.
Isner has claimed that 2025 is Djokovic’s “last opportunity” to contest for a historic 25th major title.
He said: “I hope I am wrong here, but it seems like he has two chances left to win a Grand Slam in the rest of his career – Wimbledon and the US Open. It just seems like that.
“Next year is tough, he is getting older. We know how well he takes care of his body, but it just seems like I am talking about as far as his career goes. The question was his level in Miami, if he can serve like that then he absolutely can win Wimbledon.
