Invited by our Serbian colleagues from Sports club to cite the four greatest exploits of his immense career, Novak Djokovic, who took the time to develop, risks bringing back very good memories to his fans.
« The first is a 43-game winning streak at the start of 2011. That wasn't my goal. I felt good because I finished the previous season in the best possible way, winning the Davis Cup for Serbia. That gave me a lot of confidence for 2011. I started the season by winning the Australian Open and that started the streak. I kept winning and winning, and the more I won, the better I felt on the field. I didn't care who was on the other side of the net. It was a phenomenal feeling that can only happen once. The second feat was when I won four consecutive Grand Slam tournaments in 2015–2016. I always dreamed of winning Wimbledon and becoming world number one. When I did this, I asked myself: what is my next dream? At that time, I wanted to win as many Grand Slams as possible, including Roland Garros, which I had not yet won. The third feat was defeating Roger Federer in the 2019 Wimbledon final. The final was very intense, probably the most intense match I have ever played. I could add the Australian Open final with Rafael Nadal in 2012. The fourth was to win my 23e Grand Slam title at Roland‐Garros 2023, after which I became the record holder. »
