Following his swift victory over Jan-Lennard Struff, Novak Djokovic is one step closer to potentially claiming his 25th Grand Slam title at the 2025 US Open. Djokovic’s performance, culminating in a straight-sets win, has sparked discussions about the veteran’s potential retirement. The last time Djokovic won a Grand Slam was two years ago on the same Arthur Ashe Stadium. He described winning again in New York as a ‘full-circle’ moment, which has intensified speculation about the ending of his career. At 38, Djokovic is the oldest player to reach the US Open quarterfinals since Jimmy Connors in 1991. He recognizes that achieving this milestone could be the highlight of his playing career. Djokovic acknowledged the journey of the last couple of years and said that it would be great to close the circle again. He highlighted his focus on the next match and his desire to win another major. This year, even with a reduced schedule, Djokovic has consistently advanced deep into the tournaments, setting a record as the oldest player to reach the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events in a single year. His next challenge will be against Taylor Fritz, the finalist from the previous year’s US Open.
