After clinching a record-extending 40th Masters series title in Paris at the weekend,
we’re taking a look at the Novak 🔔 Djokovic odds for 2024 and whether he will enjoy more
grand slam glory.
The Serbian’s loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the 🔔 2024 Wimbledon final
appeared to mark a real shift in men’s tennis but Djokovic has not lost a match
since.
He 🔔 collected a 24th grand slam title at the US Open and has also won titles in
Cincinnati and now the 🔔 French capital, a winning run of 18 matches, six of them against
top-10 players.
At 36, Djokovic plays sparingly, but, when 🔔 he does take to the court,
he remains clearly the best player in the world – he has lost only 🔔 five matches in 2024
and won three grand slam titles.
That meant he went close to the calendar grand slam,
which 🔔 had been priced at 16/1 in the Novak Djokovic odds at the start of the year.
Next
up, Djokovic will aim 🔔 to win a record-breaking seventh ATP Finals title in Turin before
trying to lead Serbia to a second Davis Cup 🔔 crown.
“I try to be a good student of the
game and keep track with the numbers but, at the same 🔔 time, I also want to be able to
just direct my attention to the next challenge,” Djokovic told reporters in 🔔 the French
capital.
“As long as I’m an active player, I guess that’s going to be kind of the
mentality I 🔔 will nurture. It’s great, but it’s already behind me.
“This is, fortunately
or unfortunately, the way it works for me, and 🔔 the way I think is the correct mentality
moving forward. Because, while I’m still active, I still want to win 🔔 more and I still
want to play at the highest level.
“Obviously grand slams and Masters events are the
most valuable 🔔 tournaments in our sport.”
Age no issue for Djokovic
An insatiable desire
to win biggest titles and an almost super-human ability to 🔔 peak both for the most
important tournaments and matches and the key moments within those matches have
combined to keep 🔔 Djokovic at the top of the tree while the sands have shifted around
him.
He is nearly a decade older than 🔔 any other player in the top 13 and struggled with
a stomach bug in Paris but was still able to 🔔 lift the trophy.
This undoubtedly does not
reflect particularly well on Djokovic’s rivals, albeit they are taking on one of the
🔔 greatest athletes of all time, while he again had to confront boos from the crowd on
several occasions.
The Serbian’s complex 🔔 relationship with tennis fans is nothing new,
and Parisian crowds have a justified reputation for their willingness to jeer players,
🔔 which was especially evident at the French Open this year.
Djokovic may wish he was
received differently but he has also 🔔 admitted being portrayed as a villain has driven
him on, while it should not be overlooked that he has a 🔔 sizeable army of devoted fans
around the world.
He clearly takes great delight in keeping the young pretenders at
bay, and, 🔔 with his body holding up generally very well, it would be no surprise to see
him continue to do so 🔔 into 2024.
Djokovic is only two weeks short of hitting 400 weeks
at world number one while he is the hot 🔔 favourite at 11/10 to win an 11th Australian
Open title in January, which would put him out on his own 🔔 as the most successful grand
slam singles player in history.
He would be unlikely to stop there, though, and looking
at 🔔 the Novak Djokovic odds for 2024, he is also the 11/10 favourite to win the US Open
while he is 🔔 second in the betting behind Alcaraz for the French Open (7/4) and
Wimbledon (8/5).
