Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou believes that the current world number one Novak Djokovic will win two or three Grand Slams in 2024.
The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles. Ten of those victories came while playing at the Australian Open which is a record in the competition’s history.
Djokovic had a rather disappointing outing in Melbourne where he was knocked out after losing in the semifinal to Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3.
Tennis coach Mouratoglou has been recently quoted in a report where he backed Djokovic to win ‘two or three Grand Slams’ this year.
“Now he’s probably too disappointed, but in a few days, ‘wow, they were so heavy,” he said. “I come back to normal pressure, the pressure I’m used to, which is the pressure of being number one and the greatest player of all time.’ But this is why I feel too much for him. I still think that Novak is going to win two to three Grand Slams this year.”
The Belgrade-born came into the 2024 season after having an impressive time on the court last year where he won three out of the four major titles. His only defeat in a major tournament last year came in the final at Wimbledon where he lost to Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
