Novak Djokovic revealed that his biggest goal is to defend his men's singles title at the Los Angeles Olympics

The men's tennis legend, who has 24 Grand Slam titles, recently admitted in a conversation with Croatian football coach Slavin Bilic that his biggest goal at the moment is to compete in the sixth Olympic Games and try to defend his title.

Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has revealed that it is the desire to defend his Olympic title at Los Angeles 2028 that keeps him on the court. At present, British star Andy Murray is the only player to successfully defend the men's singles gold medal at the Olympic Games. If Djokovic is able to play in Los Angeles, he will be 41 years old by then.

Despite a noticeable reduction in the number of entries in recent years in order to better manage his fitness, the 24-time Grand Slam winner told Croatian football coach Slavin Bilic that he is eager to compete in his sixth Olympic Games, a game he has enjoyed since making his debut at Beijing 2008 and winning a bronze medal in men's singles.

"Professionally, the only clear goal in my mind right now is Los Angeles 2028," Djokovic said. "When we talk about the achievements, the Olympics and the redemption, the only thing that still sticks in my mind and inspires me is the Olympics in Los Angeles." 'Playing for the national team, and for the Grand Slams, of course, is the goal. But let's be honest, even the Grand Slam is not as important as the Olympics. ”

The 38-year-old defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final at Paris 2024 to complete almost all of the major accolades of his career. He has four Grand Slams, the Davis Cup, the Year-End Finals and all nine Masters titles on his roster.

Tennis at Los Angeles 2028 will be held at Carson's Tennis Center, which is currently the United States Tennis Association's (USTA) high-level training base.
