Novak Djokovic says defending Olympic singles title at LA 2028 is ‘only thing in my vision’

Novak Djokovic says defending his Olympic singles title at the Los Angeles Games in 2028 is the “only thing in my vision”.

Serbia’s Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz in Paris last year to secure a long-awaited Olympic title and complete the career ‘Golden Slam’.

Djokovic, who will be 41 when the LA Games begin, is also pursuing an outright record 25th Grand Slam singles title, but that is no longer his primary motivation.

“The only thing that I have in my head, which gives me motivation, is the Olympics of 2028 in Los Angeles,” Djokovic told football manager Slaven Bilic in an interview., external

“It is the only thing that at this moment, professionally speaking, I have in my vision at this point.

“And playing for the national team and Grand Slams. But not even the Grand Slams, not as much as the Olympics.”
