The reason Djokovic does not need to add the 25th Grand Slam title to have the historical record

The pursuit by Novak Djokovic of a 25th Grand Slam title is presented by some media as the quest for the historical record of titles won in this category, just as Serena Williams was obsessed with reaching that number. However, it is important to clarify that Margaret Court won 11 of her 24 titles in the Open Era, with the rest in a radically different context when tennis was not professional. Therefore, one cannot compare one thing with the other, and it is fair to say that Novak Djokovic already holds the record for Grand Slam titles won.

Some historical context:

Djokovic doesn't need to win a 25th Grand Slam for the outright all-time record - he already has it. The Open Era record (1968-present), that is.

Of Margaret Court's 24 Slams, only 11 were won in the Open Era.

Her 'record' is fugazi. It doesn't exist.
