Djokovic's Dad: Novak Will Break Roger's Slam Record


Novak Djokovic conquered Rafael Nadal to claim his record seventh Australian Open title and 15th career Grand Slam crown.

The world No. 1 is third on the all-time list between 20-time Grand Slam king Roger Federer and 17-time major champion Nadal, but will eventually be second to none says Novak's father, Srdjan Djokovic.

"His wish is that by the end of his tennis career, which will last several more years, he will surpass the records of Nadal and Federer," Srdjan Djokovic said in this video interview posted by the Djoker Nole YouTube channel.



"He is simply too ambitious and too good not to do that," said Srdjan Djokovic of his son. "If he hadn't sustained that (elbow) injury, we would be a step away from that goal. This way, he is just two steps away. And trust me: he will succeed."

The Australian Open champion will try to complete his second career Nole Slam by winning Roland Garros to hold all four major championships simultaneously.
