considered the greatest male tennis player of all time, with 24 Grand Slam singles titles and 428 weeks as the ATP world No 1 to his name.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not winning a Grand Slam title since the 2023 US Open, the 38-year-old is still arguably the closest rival to the dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, <a

former coach<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Serbian has reached at least the semi-final of the last five Grand Slam men\u2019s singles events and is competing at the very highest level, with all eyes on whether he can capture a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-reveals-desire-to-play-next-olympics-but-admits-2028-is-far-off\">Djokovic has repeatedly expressed his desire to continue competing

his life outside of tennis, particularly around his family.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a new interview with <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.it\/article\/novak-djokovic-intervista-hublot-big-bang-tourbillon-goat\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Vanity Fair Italy<\/em><\/a> this week, Djokovic revealed that while he was targeting more major success, he had plenty of ambitions away from the tennis court.<\/p>\n<p>He said (translated from Italian): \u201cFor me, they\u2019re [dreams] not just about results and recognition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, I\u2019d like to win at least another Grand Slam title, stay healthy, and continue playing for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there are so many other things I want to be involved in to observe the changes taking place in tennis: I can\u2019t wait to see what the future holds, and I\u2019d like to see it as an active player too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have so many plans and dreams, especially as a father: I want to be there for my children\u2019s goals, because I travel so much that I\u2019m often away with them and my wife.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen there are so many professional projects that I can\u2019t wait to share with the world. The areas that interest me are wellness, longevity, physical and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are areas where I think my contribution is yet to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic has contested a limited schedule in recent years, prioritising his physical fitness and time with his family away from the tennis court.<\/p>\n<p>The former world No 1 was most recently in action in Indian Wells, reaching the fourth round of the event, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-ranking-slide-injury-setback\">though he then decided to withdraw from the Miami Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently set to return to action during the clay-court swing, though his full schedule for the next few months has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic\u2019s priority will be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\">French Open<\/a> in late May, with the Serbian a three-time champion at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n<p>While he is currently entered into the Monte Carlo Masters \u2014 the first Masters 1000 event of the clay season \u2014 he is unlikely to play at all three Masters events on the dirt.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Djokovic fell to early defeats at the Monte Carlo Masters and Madrid Open, and then withdrew from the Italian Open.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian then lifted his 100th career title at the ATP 250 Geneva Open, before reaching the last four at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
