Novak Djokovic continues his calendar Slam hunt at Wimbledon 2023

Novak Djokovic at the 2021 US Open

Novak Djokovic's hopes of winning a calendar Slam disappeared after an emotional final at the 2021 US Open and the defeat to Daniil Medvedev, 4-6, 4-6, 4-6. Still, the dream is back in action in 2023.

Djokovic has won the 2023 Australian Open and French Open, making it halfway to the calendar Slam, which hasn't been accomplished since the legendary Rod Laver in 1969.

"I'd like to get another chance in New York. Of course, I have to win Wimbledon, which is a whole different mountain to climb," Djokovic told the Tennis Channel after winning Roland Garros.

The Serb is coming into Wimbledon as the seven-time champion, winning the last four trophies and coming just one shy of the all-time record held by Roger Federer.

Novak Djokovic is considered a heavy favorite to win Wimbledon, and should the Serb win it, it would then put everything on the line at the 2023 US Open. The 36-year-old has won the US Open three times in his career.
