Novak Djokovic is unlikely to break the all-time record for most singles titles won by a man in the Open Era because it is \u201cnot important to him\u201d, according to former world No 11 Sam Querrey.<\/p>\n
The tennis great won his 100th career title when he lifted the Geneva Open trophy in May, leaving three shy of Roger Federer, who is second on the all-time list with Connors sitting atop on 109 career titles.<\/p>\n
Djokovic<\/a>, though, has entered only three tournaments since then as he played at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, losing in the semi-final at each of those events.<\/p>\n With Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner<\/a> dominating the big titles on the ATP Tour<\/a>, it remains to be seen if the 24-time Grand Slam winner will add more trophies to his CV, especially given his stance on his calendar.<\/p>\n Djokovic has made it clear that his last big goal in tennis is to win majors and this year, besides the four Grand Slams and the Geneva event, he played only five other tournaments (three ATP Masters 1000s, one ATP 500 and another ATP 250).<\/p>\n So what are the chances of Djokovic surpassing Federer and Connors\u2019 title tallies?<\/p>\n Speaking on the Nothing Major Podcast, Querrey explained: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s important to him and that is based on what his calendar was this year.<\/p>\n \u201cThe last three tournaments he played were Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the US Open. If Novak wanted to surpass those guys, he could.<\/p>\n \u201cHe could go load up with 250s and win them because, as we saw this year, he made the semi-finals of all four majors. So, in major tournaments, he\u2019s the third-best player in the world [behind Alcaraz and Sinner]. And his total is, what\u2019s he ranked right now? Seven. I think he\u2019s generally looked at as the third-best player in the world right now.<\/p>\n \u201cHe could go sign up for a handful of 250s and could have this year and probably won 10 of them. So, for that reason alone, I don\u2019t think those numbers of surpassing Fed and Jimmy Connors are important to him at all.\u201d<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic News<\/p>\n One of Novak Djokovic\u2019s last great tennis dreams could be revived in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n
