Heres |Q| a recent AP story |R| on Wimbledon:
NEW YORK |S| (AP) — As big |U| a deal as finally |V| winning an Olympic gold |Y| medal was to Novak |Z| Djokovic, as much as |A| he has accomplished in |B| tennis — the mens-record |C| 24 Grand Slam trophies, |D| the 99 total titles, |E| the most weeks at |F| No. 1 for any |G| player and on and |H| on — do not |J| for a moment think |K| he is satisfied as |L| the U.S. Open begins.
|M| dir="ltr">“People would ask me: |O| Now that you have |P| basically won everything with |Q| the golden medal, what |R| else is there to |S| win? I still feel |U| the drive. I still |V| have the competitive spirit,” |Y| the 37-year-old from Serbia |Z| said Saturday. “I still |A| want to make more |B| history and enjoy myself |C| on the tour.”
If |D| it seems like there |E| is always some sort |F| of milestone in the |G| offingwhen Djokovic takes the |H| court, thats because there |J| usually is.
This time |K| around at Flushing Meadows, |L| where play begins Monday |M| and the No. 2-seeded |O| Djokovic faces 138th-ranked Radu |P| Albot of Moldova at |Q| night in Arthur Ashe |R| Stadium, there is the |S| latest opportunity to get |U| major singles championship No. |V| 25, a total no |Y| man or woman ever |Z| has reached in tennis.
|A| dir="ltr">As the defending champion, |B| there is also a |C| chance to become the |D| first man to win |E| at least two consecutive |F| titles at the U.S. |G| Open since Roger Federer |H| swept five in a |J| row from 2004 to |K| 2008.
“I didnt know |L| it was that long. |M| Hopefully that changes this |O| year,” Djokovic said. “I |P| mean, thats the goal. |Q| The goal is always |R| for me to try |S| to go all the |U| way to the finals |V| and fight for the |Y| trophy. That kind of |Z| mindset or approach is |A| no different for me |B| this year.”
That consistency |C| of purpose is what |D| has carried him to |E| all of his achievements.
|F| dir="ltr">“I want to follow |G| what Djokovic has done |H| always in his career,” |J| said Carlos Alcaraz, the |K| 21-year-old who already owns |L| four majors himself, “which |M| is getting better and |O| improving, showing up at |P| the court playing at |Q| his best level.”
Its |R| also as widely admired |S| by other players in |U| the sport as the |V| numbers — “Colossal,” Alcaraz |Y| called the idea of |Z| winning a 25th major |A| — associated with Djokovics |B| name.
“Your baseline average |C| level just has to |D| be so much better |E| than everyone elses. It |F| speaks to how much |G| better someone is than |H| everyone else, because there |J| are so many people |K| just trying to get |L| that one — trying |M| to get one or |O| two; a couple,” 12th-seeded |P| American Taylor Fritz said. |Q| “Its amazing. And obviously |R| the discipline throughout the |S| year, to never be |U| satisfied and always want |V| more, is also just |Y| extremely impressive in itself.”
|Z| dir="ltr">Djokovic hasnt competed anywhere |A| since beating Alcaraz in |B| a pair of tiebreakers |C| in the Summer Games |D| title match.
The way |E| Djokovic reacted that day |F| — kneeling, trembling, crying |G| — and the way |H| he spoke about it |J| Saturday left no doubt |K| about its importance to |L| him.
“Just a very |M| proud moment of experiencing |O| the gold medal around |P| my neck, with the |Q| Serbian anthem and Serbian |R| flag. Very, very special. |S| Probably the most intense |U| emotions I have ever |V| had on a tennis |Y| court,” he said. “The |Z| moment of when I |A| achieved it, how I |B| achieved it, after years |C| of trying, the journey |D| that was the way |E| it was, I think |F| makes it even more |G| unique.”
And now its |H| time to turn the |J| page and pursue more |K| hardware.
The season stops |L| for no one, and |M| Djokovic is not interested |O| in taking any kind |P| of a break right |Q| now.
Hes won the |R| U.S. Open on four |S| occasions. Making that five |U| is what is on |V| his mind at the |Y| moment.
Consider: Djokovic is |Z| on the verge of |A| his first year since |B| 2017 without claiming at |C| least one major trophy. |D| He lost to Jannik |E| Sinner — whose steroids |F| case Djokovic weighed in |G| on Saturday — in |H| the semifinals of the |J| Australian Open; withdrew from |K| the French Open before |L| the quarterfinals because he |M| needed surgery on his |O| right knee; lost to |P| Alcaraz in the final |Q| at Wimbledon.
“Grand Slams |R| are the pillars of |S| our sport. They are |U| THE most important historical |V| tennis events that we |Y| have,” Djokovic said. “So |Z| if you dont get |A| pumped and inspired to |B| play your best tennis |C| at Grand Slams, its |D| hard to do that |E| anywhere else.”
