“Davydenko Drops Bombshell: Djokovic’s Secret Formula for Grand Slam Success Revealed! Will 2024 Bring Tennis History? 🎾🔥 #GoldenSlam”

Former world No. 3 Nikolay Davydenko believes that if Grand Slam tournaments switched to a best-of-three set format, Novak Djokovic would have a “100% chance” of winning all four in a season. Davydenko, emphasizing the physical toll of five-set matches, sees the Calendar Slam as increasingly challenging for the 36-year-old. Djokovic, with 24 Grand Slam titles, fell short of the Calendar Grand Slam in 2021. Despite his historic 2021 run, he missed out on an Olympic medal and lost the US Open final. Djokovic aims for a Golden Slam in 2024, an elusive feat no male player has achieved.

Davydenko acknowledges the difficulty of winning all four Majors and an Olympic gold in a season, citing the demanding schedule and special preparation required for the Olympics. Reflecting on Djokovic’s 2024 Australian Open form, he anticipates the challenge ahead. While many players are hesitant about the Olympics, Davydenko sees it as almost a regular tournament where the best-prepared player stands a chance.

Shifting focus to rising star Jannik Sinner, currently world No. 4, Davydenko praises his work ethic and development in the 2023 season. Sinner’s commitment to changing his game, including strong physical attributes and a well-rounded skill set, impresses Davydenko. However, he notes that Sinner often relies on willpower, emphasizing the need for additional elements to sustain success throughout an entire season. Despite the challenges, Davydenko predicts continued improvement from Sinner as he refines his game and results.
