With three out of four Grand Slam titles under his belt in the 2023 season, Djokovic’s remarkable success begs the question: what drives him to maintain his motivation heading into the new season? Despite his unparalleled achievements, Djokovic’s hunger for success remains insatiable as he sets ambitious goals for himself, including the pursuit of an elusive Olympic gold medal.
Reflecting on his aspirations for 2024, Djokovic emphasizes his unwavering commitment to excellence, stating, “Well, you can win four slams and an Olympic gold.” His determination to reach the pinnacle of Olympic glory underlines his relentless pursuit of greatness and his unwavering dedication to achieving his goals.

“I look forward to Olympics. I hope that I’ll be able to play healthy in Paris. It’s going to be played on clay in Roland Garros, so I’m familiar with those grounds. I hope my best Olympic result for me will come there.” pic.twitter.com/2i8Fm49Q0Q

For Djokovic, the prospect of achieving the elusive ‘Golden Slam’ poses a formidable challenge. This rare feat, accomplished only by Steffi Graf in 1988, entails winning all four Grand Slam titles and the Olympic gold medal within the same year. Despite his previous Olympic endeavors, including a bronze medal win in singles at the 2008 Games, Djokovic acknowledges the daunting task ahead as he aims to etch his name in the annals of tennis history.
As Djokovic sets his sights on the 2024 Paris Olympics, he recognizes the unique challenges posed by the tournament’s clay surface, held at the iconic Roland Garros venue just weeks after Wimbledon. The transition from grass to clay presents a formidable test for world No. 1, who remains undaunted in his pursuit of Olympic glory.
