If the 37-year-old Serb manages to win this year's US Open, he will surpass Margaret Court to win an unprecedented 25th major title. He is currently tied with Court on 24 Grand Slam titles and Djokovic will have another chance to break the tie, starting Monday.
The defending champion is coming into the US Open with his maiden Olympic gold which he won by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Paris Games earlier this month.
Djokovic has won at the Flushing Meadows four times including last year. The world No 2 also won the 2011, 2015 and 2018 edition. However, he has not played any of preceding hard court tournaments after his Paris triumph.
