Sam Querrey is clear that Novak Djokovic could surpass the 103 titles of Roger Federer and the 109 of Jimmy Connors. He stated this on the 'Nothing Majors' podcast: "If Djokovic wanted, he could surpass Federer and Connors in titles. This year we saw that he reached the semifinals in all Grand Slams, so in those tournaments, he is the third best player in the world. He could enter several ATP 250 events and probably win ten. Just for that reason, I don't think these numbers, and the fact of surpassing Federer and Connors, are important to him," concluded the former American tennis player.

"He [Novak Djokovic] could enter a handful of 250 tournaments this year and probably win 10 of them. For that reason alone, I don't think those numbers - passing Federer and Jimmy Connors - are important to him."

Fifty years ago, Manuel Orantes signed it, overturning an impossible score against Guillermo Vilas in the US Open semifinals: "When I didn't like someone, I focused more on the match".
The American also praised Djokovic "because only Sinner and Alcaraz are better than him" and puts pressure on Tsitsipas and Zverev: "They are running out of opportunities".
We review how the list of players with the most total titles won before the age of 23 looks and how far Alcaraz could go.
Fourteen semifinals at the US Open. Do you know how many men can boast of this fact in the Open Era? If you had asked me 24 hours ago, I would have told you only one, the great Jimmy Connors, a champion here up to five times. If you ask me now, early on this Wednesday, September 3, I must tell you that there is another player who has joined this statistic. We are talking about Novak Djokovic, the tireless, the record-setter. An astronomical mark that, considering what we've seen, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him break it again in twelve months.

The double champion in London is adamant about how the Spaniard faced the duel against Sinner and believes he should have looked for some kind of alternative.
With Wimbledon just around the corner and following a great Roland Garros, Novak Djokovic is mentioned in some predictions to claim the prestigious London tournament and thus secure his 25th Grand Slam. However, tennis legend Jimmy Connors, an eight-time Grand Slam winner, explains why the Serbian might not achieve it: "As one gets older, playing against these young players is not an easy task. Especially in these five-set matches. It's not the ones you win 6-4 in the fifth or 7-5 in the fourth. It's the ones after that wear you down and tire you out, to the point that when you reach the quarterfinals or semifinals and have to play your best tennis, you're fighting against fatigue. It happens to all athletes. There's nothing to be done," he confessed on his podcast 'Advantage Connors'.

Novak Djokovic's feat at Roland Garros 2025 will be remembered for a long time, regardless of the outcome of his semifinal duel against Sinner. Accessing a Grand Slam tournament's semifinals at the age of 38 is quite unusual. Proof of this is that he has become the fifth oldest tennis player in the Open Era to do so.
