Novak Djokovic, at 38, aims to defend his Olympic title at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The Serbian tennis star regards his 2024 Olympic gold as his career's peak and aspires to make history by competing at 41. Djokovic is inspired by contemporaries like Andy Murray and welcomes challenges.

Novak Djokovic, renowned for his prowess on the tennis court, recently affirmed his ambition to defend his Olympic title at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, despite being 38 years old. Djokovic highlighted his 2024 Olympic gold medal win against Carlos Alcaraz as the pinnacle of his career.

The Serbian tennis legend will be 41 by the time the LA Games commence, signifying an age-defying target in the world of sports. Djokovic has expressed that reaching the Olympics remains a primary long-term goal, a sentiment bolstered by his recent second-round victory over Kamil Majchrzak at Indian Wells.

Whilst only Andy Murray has defended an Olympic singles gold, Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, remains undeterred. After a hiatus following his Australian Open endeavors, Djokovic returned to action, defeating Majchrzak amid difficult conditions and looks forward to his match against American Aleksandar Kovacevic.
