00:0026 days after Novak Djokovic won Olympic gold in Paris, he finished off his second
00:07least profitable Grand Slam season since 2009 with a stunning third-round defeat to Alex
00:14C Pomrian at the US Open.
00:16With a few months remaining on the 2024 tennis calendar, he could end the year without a
00:21tour-level title for the first time since 2005, while simultaneously securing what he
00:27describes as the greatest achievement of his career.
00:31The 24-time major winner is generally only satisfied when he is winning everything. Settling
00:37for anything less has generally been unknown to the man who has dominated tennis with a
00:42blip or two since the start of 2011.
00:46As his Grand Slam season ends, the phenomenal achievement of winning Olympic gold increasingly
00:51looks like a shiny distraction. It's the first time he ends a year of tennis without a Grand
00:56Slam since 2017.
