How they play

Novak Djokovic set the men’s record with 24 Grand Slam singles titles and completed the career Golden Slam with gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He is a complete competitor who remained at the top for an exceptional span.

Deep returns and flexible court coverage bring even a strong serve back to neutral. His two-handed backhand hides direction and acts as the link between defense and attack.

What to watch

If you are new to this player

On return, watch him place a stable racquet face in front of the ball instead of taking a large swing.
Even when stretched, notice how one deep ball can restore the rally instead of forcing an immediate winner.

For a closer look

Against second serves, track how often he steps inside the baseline and takes the first attacking opportunity.
Before a backhand down the line, note how long he fixes the opponent’s position with crosscourt exchanges.
