Djokovic Targets More Grand Slams

Just In: Djokovic Tests Positive For COVID-19

Novak Djokovic has warned that he is “hungrier than ever to win more Grand Slams”.

After a disappointing 2017 season that saw him fail to reach the semi-finals of the four majors, let alone win it, the Serb bounced back superbly this year, winning Wimbledon and the US Open.

It means his Grand Slam tally now stands at 14, which leaves him six adrift of Roger Federer in first place and three behind Rafael Nadal in second.

Djokovic, though, believes there is more to come as he feels he can repeat his heroics of 2015-16 when he won five out of six Slams, including four consecutive majors.

“I had to change my game, especially my serve, as a result of the surgery. I didn’t expect to come back so quickly,” he said.

“I was in the unfamiliar situation of losing more matches than I was winning early on this season and when that happens, you begin to wonder whether you’ve made the right decisions.

“Now that my confidence is back, I am hungrier than ever to win more Grand Slams.

“I had to learn to be patient. I am a different player and a different person than I was three years ago. I still believe I can repeat that 2015-2016 streak when I won four Slams in a row, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”

Fenerbahçe President told he made huge mistake to continue with Mourinho

Football commentator Gürcan Bilgiç has told Ali Koç, the President of Fenerbahçe, that he made a huge mistake by continuing with manager José Mourinho at the club.


According to Bilgiç, it is not right for Fenerbahçe and Mourinho to continue together after the Portuguese failed to win the Turkish Süper Lig last season.

Recall that Mourinho’s side finished in second place on the Turkish Süper Lig table, behind champions Galatasaray.


However, Bilgiç believes Galatasaray will remain favourites to win the Turkish domestic title again in the 2025/26 campaign.

“Ali Koç made a huge mistake. It is not right for Fenerbahçe for Jose Mourinho to continue,” Bilgiç said (via habersarikirmizi).

“Galatasaray will be the favourite again next season. If Ali Koç does not spend a lot of money, Mourinho will continue to fail.


“Because the material at hand is still behind Galatasaray.”

Mourinho has previously coached top European clubs including Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Porto, Inter Milan, and Tottenham Hotspur

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe will not travel to Charlotte for the team’s Club World Cup match against Pachuca, a club source told AFP Saturday.

The French superstar was taken to hospital on Thursday for tests and treatment after suffering gastroenteritis, before later being released.

Mbappe is improving “bit by bit” said the club source, but he will not fly with his team-mates for Sunday’s match against Mexican side Pachuca.

The 26-year-old missed the opening game with the same illness as Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso’s debut as coach.

Madrid B-team player Gonzalo Garcia, 21, started in Mbappe’s stead and opened the scoring for Real Madrid against their Saudi Arabian opponents.

Mbappe finished as the European Golden Shoe winner in his first season at Real Madrid with 31 goals in La Liga and 43 across all competitions, but Los Blancos finished the season without a major trophy.
