Novak Djokovic is still searching for a 25th Grand Slam singles title.
The Serbian superstar currently shares the record for the most Grand Slam singles titles won with Australian legend Margaret Court.
Djokovic last won a major title at the 2023 US Open, beating Daniil Medvedev in the final.
What would you now rate Novak Djokovic’s chances of winning the US Open?
If Djokovic were to win his 25th crown in New York later this year, his status as the greatest player in tennis history would surely be confirmed.
The 39-year-old also has the opportunity to break another all-time tennis record at this year’s US Open.
Novak Djokovic can become the winningest player in US Open Men’s Singles history
Jimmy Connors currently holds the record for winning the most US Open Men’s Singles matches in tennis history.
The American star won 98 US Open singles matches between 1970 and 1972 – only three more than Novak Djokovic.
If Djokovic were to reach the US Open quarter-finals this year, he would become the new leader in this statistical category.
| Player | Singles matches won at the US Open |
Years competed |
| 1. Jimmy Connors | 98 | 1970-89, ’91-92 |
| 2. Novak Djokovic | 95 | 2005-16, ’18-21, ‘23-25 |
| 3. Roger Federer | 89 | 2000-15, ’17-19 |
Djokovic could also break another of Connors’ US Open records: the most men’s singles matches played at the event.
Connors competed in 115 US Open singles matches across his career – five more than Djokovic.
Djokovic would need to reach the US Open semi-finals this year to surpass Connors’ total.
