Novak Djokovic didn’t secure a Grand Slam title in 2024, yet Patrick Mouratoglou believes he still has the potential to win one. This year wasn’t great for Djokovic, as he only claimed victory at the Olympics and missed out on other ATP Tour titles. With just one tournament win this season, unless he joins the ATP Finals, it’s his least successful year.
In his career, Djokovic’s lowest number of titles was two, which happened in 2005, 2010, and 2017. But at the Paris Olympics, he showed he’s still got it by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets during the final match. Patrick Mouratoglou reminded everyone that just last year Djokovic won three Grand Slams and reached another final.
Fans might think that despite a tough year, Novak isn’t done yet.

Djokovic’s Future Prospects:
Recently withdrawing from the Paris Masters signals Djokovic’s focus on Grand Slams alone. His next target could be the Australian Open in 2025. Mouratoglou is confident that even against strong competitors like Sinner and Alcaraz, Djokovic can still triumph in major tournaments.
Mouratoglou emphasized motivation as key for Djokovic’s success in future Grand Slams. He noted how driven Novak was during this year’s Olympics—a drive that led him to victory. If he can channel similar energy into other events, more big wins are possible.
The challenge now is maintaining motivation without his longtime rival Rafael Nadal around. With Nadal retiring and having achieved so much already, finding new reasons to push forward is tricky for Novak.
Mouratoglou hopes this challenging year will reignite Djokovic’s passion for tennis so fans can witness epic battles once more among top players like before—something truly exciting to watch!
What do you think? Can Novak find his spark again?
