Djokovic Breaks Records, Eyes 25th Grand Slam

Oldest man to reach all four Slam quarter-finals in a year—and still chasing history

At 38, Novak Djokovic continues to defy age and expectations. With a commanding win over Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff at the 2025 US Open, the Serbian tennis legend has become the oldest man ever to reach the quarter-finals of all four Grand Slams in a single season. The straight-sets victory (6–3, 6–3, 6–2) also marked his 64th Grand Slam quarter-final appearance, extending a record that no other male player has matched.

Djokovic’s performance was clinical—six service breaks, 79% first-serve success, and laser-focused court control—even while receiving treatment for shoulder and forearm soreness.

Next, he faces Taylor Fritz, against whom he holds a flawless 10–0 record.

For the Adria region, Djokovic isn’t just a sports icon—he’s a living symbol of consistency, grit, and global excellence. As he inches closer to a potential 25th Grand Slam title, a win that would cement him as the greatest of all time, he once again offers a powerful reminder: champions don’t age—they evolve.
