Boris Becker has claimed that Novak Djokovic<\/a> has admitted he can\u2019t win another Grand Slam title. The Serbian, who has reportedly moved to Greece<\/a>, has won a record 24 men\u2019s Grand Slam singles titles, with his most recent success at a Major coming at the 2023 US Open.<\/p>\n

Djokovic has enjoyed a stellar career in tennis and clinched his maiden Grand Slam trophy at the 2008 Australian Open<\/a>. After a long rivalry with Roger Federer<\/a> and Rafael Nadal<\/a>, he usurped the latter as the most successful men\u2019s player in history at the 2023 French Open. But his form has tailed off in recent years, with Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> and Jannik Sinner<\/a> now storming ahead of their tennis rivals.<\/p>\n

Becker spoke about Djokovic during an appearance on the Becker-Petkovic podcast as he stated: \u201cI think now he\u2019s admitted that he can\u2019t realistically win a Grand Slam because of his age and the strength of the youngsters [Alcaraz and Sinner].\u201d<\/p>\n

Djokovic, meanwhile, explained after his US Open exit<\/a> earlier this month: \u201cI can do only as much as I can do. And yeah it will be very difficult for me in the future to overcome the hurdle of Sinner and Alcaraz in the best of five in the Grand Slams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m going to continue fighting and trying to get to the finals and fight for another trophy at least. But it’s going to be a very, very difficult task.\u201d<\/p>\n

Djokovic has been tipped by some to call time on his career in the near future. And the 38-year-old appears to be preparing for life after tennis by moving his family to Greece.<\/p>\n

According to Tennis 24<\/a>, Djokovic\u2019s family have found a place to live in the Southern Suburbs of Athens. And he has enrolled his two children, Stefan, 10, and Tara, eight, in St Lawrence College, an independent British school.<\/p>\n

The family are already said to be getting accustomed to life in Greece, with the blockbuster star spotted playing tennis with Stefan at the Kavouri Tennis Club.<\/p>\n

Djokovic\u2019s move to Greece comes after the veteran offered his support to student-led protests against Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic. The protests came after 16 people were killed during the collapse of a railway station in Novi Sad last November.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone who deeply believes in the power of youth and their desire for a better future, I believe it’s important that their voices are heard,\u201d Djokovic wrote on social media at the end of last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSerbia has enormous potential, and its educated youth is its greatest strength. What we all need is understanding and respect. With you, Novak.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boris Becker has claimed that Novak Djokovic has admitted he can\u2019t win another Grand Slam title.
