“I Am Very Grateful and Proud for the Results I’ve Achieved” – Novak Djokovic After Winning 7th ITF World Champion Title

The 2021 year has probably been the best year for Novak Djokovic. The Serbian player has accomplished many things this year. From the Australian Open to Wimbledon and then to the French Open, the Joker won it all. He just fell one step short to claim the US Open. Had he won, he would have won all the four slams this year. This also would have taken him one step ahead against his rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. 

All the three players have been tied at 20 grand slams each. Novak just needs one slam to get better of his frenemies. Also, he is in the most favorite position to win the Australian Open should he participate as the Australian authorities have confirmed that in order to participate a player must have both the doses done.
