Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner produced a superb display to dispatch the 24-time Grand Slam champion in straight sets, by an impressive scoreline of 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian has not won a Grand Slam title since 2023, but he continues to challenge at the latter stages of the biggest events in tennis.<\/p>\n<p>This year alone, Djokovic has reached the final of the Australian Open and the semi finals of Wimbledon, but it\u2019s hard not to fear that his time is running out.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Aracj3o10o\" target=\"_blank\">The Tennis Channel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/martina-navratilova\">Martina Navratilova<\/a> believes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> can still win a Grand Slam before he retires, but he needs to make a simple change.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-time Grand Slam champion believes Djokovic needs to be smarter with his scheduling when it comes to playing Grand Slams.<\/p>\n<h2>More Novak Djokovic news<\/h2>\n<p><a

finds really annoying about the media after his Wimbledon defeat to Jannik Sinner<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-hailed-for-what-he-did-immediately-after-losing-to-jannik-sinner-at-wimbledon\">Novak Djokovic hailed for what he did immediately after losing to Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cThree out of five helped him get there. So, he had a little cushion, but then it hurt him because then he was tired because he played the five setter in his last match. And I think he if he really wants to win one more, he\u2019s got to play few more matches, a few more tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic didn\u2019t play a tournament on a grass before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> and Navratilova believes that cost him in the end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it cost him because he just wasn\u2019t matched up,\u201d she explained. \u201cHe\u2019s been so reliable for so long in these majors. The outlier isn\u2019t him making the semi-finals at 39. It\u2019s losing early to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/joao-fonseca\">Joao Fonseca<\/a>, who most of us think is going to win majors at some point in his career in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guy can just show up and play this well. But to win a title like this, I think you probably need a few more miles in your body to be able to avoid running out of something, whatever that special sauce is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s had so many little injury issues like he had last year going into this match. He got hurt on match point against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/flavio-cobolli\">Cobolli<\/a>. So, you need some luck. You need all that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the guy\u2019s got greatness oozing from him still at 39. He\u2019s made semis or better guys in six of his last seven majors, but still no titles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic\u2019s next chance to win that elusive 25th Grand Slam title will be at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a>, which is set to take place between 23rd August and the 13th September.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian will be hoping to lift the title for a fifth time at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martina Navratilova suggests Novak Djokovic must make tactical change to win another Grand Slam Liam McMillen 11 Jul 2026 8:30 PM Martina Navratilova and Novak Djokovic Novak Djokovic\u2019s quest for a 25th Grand Slam title continues as he was knocked out of the semi finals of Wimbledon by Jannik Sinner.
