Tennis legend Boris Becker says that Novak Djokovic has accepted that he will not be able to win another Grand Slam title.
The 38-year-old Serbian tennis player has won 24 Grand Slam singles titles throughout his career.

“I think Djokovic has now realistically admitted that he can’t win a Grand Slam because of his age and the strength of the young players,” Becker said on the Becker-Petkovic podcast.
Boris Becker, who won six Grand Slam titles in his career, ended up in jail accused of hiding his assets and loans to avoid paying his debts, which amounted to 60 million euros.
Novak Djokovic is clear that he will continue playing in 2026
The last Grand Slam won by Djokovic, who in recent years has seen the likes of Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner overtake him, was the 2023 US Open.
“It will be very difficult in the future to overcome the obstacle of Sinner and Alcaraz in best-of-five-set matches at Grand Slams
“I can only do what I can do. And yes, it will be very difficult for me in the future to overcome the hurdle of Sinner and Alcaraz in best-of-five-set matches in the Grand Slams… I’m going to keep fighting and trying to get to the final and at least fight for another trophy.

Novak Djokovic has made it clear he wants to keep playing in 2026.
