Djokovic puts record books out of mind in hunt for 24th major title<\/strong><\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic could claim a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title at Sunday’s US Open final but will put that landmark out of his mind as he prepares to face old foe Daniil Medvedev.<\/p>\n

The Serb battled past American Ben Shelton in straight sets on Friday to set up a rematch with Russia’s Medvedev, who denied him a rare calendar Grand Slam two years ago.<\/p>\n

The memory of that bitter defeat was still fresh in his mind, as Djokovic told reporters he was trying not to focus on the significance of a 24th major title that would match Margaret Court’s all-time singles record.<\/p>\n

“(I don’t) think about the history too much in this sense, you know, because when I did that in the past, like, ’21 finals here I was maybe overwhelmed with the occasion and the opportunity and I underperformed,” said Djokovic.<\/p>\n

“So I don’t want this to happen again, and I’ll try to, you know, just focus on what needs to be done and tactically prepare myself for that match.”<\/p>\n

Djokovic won the Australian Open and hoisted the trophy at Roland Garros already this year. He had a chance to collect his 24th major title in Wimbledon but was denied in the finale by Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

Fans had hoped that Djokovic would meet the young Spaniard again in New York. But the defending champion came up short against Medvedev in their respective semi-final.<\/p>\n

“I was very close to (making) the 24 in London, but, you know, lost to a better player,” said Djokovic, who will take the top spot in the world rankings when they update after the tournament.<\/p>\n

“Every time in a Grand Slam final it’s another shot for history, you know, and I’m aware of it, and of course I’m very proud of it. But… I don’t have much time nor do I allow myself to reflect on these things.”<\/p>\n
