Billie Jean King expressed her desire to see Novak Djokovic win one more Grand Slam title to eclipse Margaret Court. King, one of the most decorated players of all time, named Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as the best in the new generation.
Djokovic extended his Open Era men's singles record of the highest career winning percentage and also finished as the top-ranked player for the eighth time in 2023. The following year, he achieved the anticipated Career Golden Slam after winning the Olympic gold in Paris. Having broken multiple records in his illustrious career, the Serb has been vying for his 25th major title this year.
Novak Djokovic entered Wimbledon with the same mindset, readying himself to face the most formidable players in the sport, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Ahead of his third-round clash, the 38-year-old received support from Hall of Famer Billie Jean King, who named Sinner and Alcaraz as the frontrunners, but expressed her desire to watch the Serb win another Slam.

"I also think you have to go, Alcaraz and Sinner. I mean, they're the best right now. They're the new generation coming on. Sabalenka's the new generation. I've been through five or six generations, so I know. And now the big three guys, except for Djokovic, I'd like to see him win one more Slam. That'd be great. That could be a good bet. No, I don't know if it's a good bet or not, but I just would wish it for him so he has the most Slams."
Djokovic had a heartbreaking semifinal exit from the French Open after losing to Sinner in straight sets.
Carlos Alcaraz revealed why his conversations with Novak Djokovic don't involve tennis
Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning French Open champion and one of the foremost players of the new generation, recently shared that he had never talked tennis with Djokovic. Instead, he likes to watch the legendary Serb's play from afar and learn from his game.
"I try to learn some things from his game, from the way he trains, from the way he sometimes plays in his matches, but always from an external perspective, not because I talk with him or ask him questions about tennis. I love watching him play tennis, I love every time I have trained with him, the way he moves, plays, and trains, but apart from that, I don't talk with him about tennis."
The Serb is the only player to have completed a Career Golden Masters and three Career Grand Slams. He has won all the Big Titles in his career, the only player in history to do so.
