Djokovic chases record 25th Grand Slam at 2026 US Open

Novak Djokovic, 39, seeks a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title at the 2026 US Open, which would move him past Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24. He told media on 29 August he was "as best as I can be" prepared, despite playing only one match since Wimbledon — a Cincinnati loss to Thiago Agustín Tirante. He has reached six semi-finals or better in his last seven Slams.
