During the post-match press conference following the 2023 US Open final, the 36-year-old tennis legend expressed his genuine sense of living out his childhood dream by competing at the sport's pinnacle.

He acknowledged the sport's significant impact on his life and family, especially during challenging times. He confessed that while he never initially anticipated reaching this point, in recent years, he began to believe he had a chance to make history and saw no reason not to seize the opportunity when it materialized.

"I'm really living my childhood dream to compete at the highest level in this sport, which has given me and my family so much from difficult circumstances.

"I never thought I would be here but the last couple of years I thought I had a shot at history. Why not grab it when it is presented?" Djokovic said

Earlier this year, Djokovic surpassed Rafael Nadal's record of 22 men's major titles and after facing defeat at the hands of 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz at the Wimbledon final in July, he has now equaled Margaret Court's record at the second attempt.

In 2023, Djokovic triumphed in three out of the four Grand Slam events, a feat he has accomplished four times, making him the first man to do so. As the current world number one, Djokovic now has an opportunity to surpass Margaret Court's record at the 2024 Australian Open, an event where he has already secured an impressive 10 titles.
