Djokovic has not played a match that counted since the semifinal loss to Sinner in the French Open. He showed fight against the world's top-ranked player, but ran out of gas during his fourth-straight loss to the 23-year-old phenom.

With his first match of 2025 Wimbledon scheduled next week, Djokovic spoke to reporters Saturday and admitted that of all the Grand Slams, Wimbledon represents his best chance to capture his increasingly elusive 25th title.

Novak is the seven-time champion at the All England Club, matching his idol Pete Sampras and standing one title behind Roger Federer. In addition, the veteran has reached the final in each of the last six Wimbledons.
