Djokovic then went on to speak about the motivations he has left to pursue tennis at the highest level. The Serbian further said, “Knowing that I play at such a high level still and I win the biggest tournaments in this sport, yeah, I don't want to get rid of this sport or I don't want to leave this sport if I'm still at the top."

Novak Djokovic was looking to make 2023 the perfect year as he had already won the first two grand slams. The march was halted when Carlos Alcaraz beat the Serbian in the final of Wimbledon this year. Djokovic though swept aside all opposition to claim the 2023 US Open title to make it his 24^th grand slam.

The Serbian tennis legend talked about the role his family and his team played. “My team, my family knew that the last 24 hours, don't touch me, don't speak to me about, you know, the history of what's on the line, I really did my best to keep things quite simple and stick to the routines that brought me to where I am and treat this match really as any other match where I just need to win” Djokovic beat Medvedev in the final in straight sets. The first set was an easy 6-3 win as the second set went to tie-break and the Serbian won it 7-6. The 24^th title came when Djokovic won the set with 6-3 margin.
