Here is a recent AP article about the US Open:

NEW YORK (AP) — As important as it was for Novak Djokovic to finally win an Olympic gold medal, and as much as he has accomplished in tennis — 24 Grand Slam trophies, a men’s singles record, 99 titles overall, the most weeks at No. 1 of any player and so on — don’t think for a second that he is satisfied now that the U.S. Open is starting.

“People ask me: ‘Now that you’ve basically won everything with the gold medal, what’s left to win?’ I still feel the drive. I still have the competitive spirit,” the 37-year-old from Serbia said on Saturday. “I still want to make more history and enjoy the Tour.”

If it seems like every time Djokovic steps onto the court he’s about to achieve a milestone, that’s because that’s usually the case.

This time, it will be Flushing Meadows, where play begins on Monday and No. 2 seed Djokovic will face No. 138 seed Radu Albot of Moldova at Arthur Ashe Stadium in the evening, offering another chance to win his 25th major singles title, a total no man or woman in tennis has ever achieved.

As defending champion, he also has the chance to become the first man to win at least two consecutive US Open titles since Roger Federer won five in a row from 2004 to 2008.

“I didn’t know it would take this long. Hopefully that will change this year,” Djokovic said. “I mean, that’s the goal. The goal for me is always to get to the final and fight for the trophy. That mindset or approach is no different for me this year.”

It is this determination that has led him to all his successes.

“I want to do what Djokovic has always done in his career,” said 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, who has already won four majors himself. “He is getting better and better, he is playing at his best level on the court.”

It is also admired by other players in the sport, as are the numbers – “colossal,” as Alcaraz called the idea of ​​winning his 25th major – associated with Djokovic’s name.

“Your average base level just has to be so much better than everyone else. That shows how much better someone is than everyone else, because there are so many people just trying to get that one point – trying to get one or two, a few,” said 12th-seeded American Taylor Fritz. “It’s incredible. And of course, the discipline all year round of never being satisfied and always wanting more is extremely impressive in itself.”

Djokovic has not competed anywhere since defeating Alcaraz in two tiebreaks in the Summer Games title match.

The way Djokovic reacted that day – kneeling, shaking, crying – and the way he spoke about it on Saturday left no doubt how important it was to him.

“Just a very proud moment, feeling the gold medal around my neck, with the Serbian anthem and the Serbian flag. Very, very special. Probably the most intense emotions I’ve ever had on a tennis court,” he said. “The moment when I did it, how I did it, after years of trying, the path that was the way it was, I think makes it even more special.”

And now it’s time to close the chapter and move on to more hardware.

The season is not interrupted for anyone and Djokovic is not interested in taking a break at the moment.

He has already won the US Open four times. His biggest goal right now is to win the title for the fifth time.

Consider this: Djokovic is about to enter his first year since 2017 in which he has not won at least one major trophy. He lost in the semifinals of the Australian Open to Jannik Sinner – whose steroid case Djokovic addressed on Saturday; he withdrew from the French Open before the quarterfinals because he needed surgery on his right knee; and lost in the final of Wimbledon to Alcaraz.

“Grand Slams are the pillars of our sport. They are THE most important historical tennis events we have,” Djokovic said. “So if you are not motivated and inspired to play your best tennis at Grand Slams, it is difficult to achieve that elsewhere.”
