Hey Lykkers! Did you hear what Novak Djokovic said recently? The tennis legend, who has ruled the tennis world for years, is no longer obsessed with being ranked No. 1. At 37, Djokovic is shifting his focus from ranking points to winning big matches and enjoying the game.

Let's dive into what's on his mind and how his career is shaping up!

Still Breaking Records at 37

Even though Djokovic isn't chasing the top spot anymore, he's still making history. Recently, he claimed his 411th win at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 during the Miami Open, defeating Argentina's Camilo Ugo Carabelli 6-1, 7-6 (7-1). That win brought him one step closer to his 100th career singles title, proving that age is just a number for him.

Winning Big Matters More

Djokovic openly admitted that his priorities have shifted. He said, “My goal now is to perform my best at Grand Slam events and other major tournaments I play. My schedule has changed, which shows I'm not focused on ranking points.”

Instead of being obsessed with reclaiming the No. 1 spot, Djokovic is more interested in adding to his collection of major titles. For him, winning the big ones means more than being on top of the rankings.

A New Perspective on Success

When asked about his mindset, Djokovic was clear: things are different now compared to a few years ago. He's more satisfied winning prestigious events than worrying about staying at No. 1. As he put it, “Winning a Grand Slam or a major event is more important to me now. That's where my heart is.”

This shift in focus isn't surprising. With 24 Grand Slam titles under his belt, Djokovic has already cemented his place as one of the greatest players in history. At this stage of his career, he's prioritizing quality over quantity.

Chasing Connors and Federer?

Even though Djokovic isn't actively chasing records, he's still within striking distance of tennis legends. Jimmy Connors holds the record with 109 titles, followed by Roger Federer with 103. Djokovic, with 99 titles, is right behind them.

When asked about breaking these records, Djokovic was realistic. He admitted that surpassing Connors and Federer is no easy task. “Breaking records is great... but it's harder now than it was before. I'll take it one match at a time and see how things go.”

Enjoying Every Moment

Djokovic also acknowledged that he doesn't know how much longer he'll be playing, but one thing is clear—he's still having fun. He said, “I don't know how long I'll keep going, but I'm still enjoying it when I play well.”

At this point in his career, it's not just about the trophies. Djokovic is savoring every match and embracing the journey. That's the mindset of someone who's truly at peace with where they are.

What's Next for Djokovic?

So, what's next for Novak Djokovic? With his eyes set on winning major titles and possibly inching closer to Connors and Federer, we're sure he'll continue to surprise us. Even though the No. 1 ranking isn't his main goal anymore, don't count him out just yet. He's still got plenty of fight left in him.
