About this listen
Novak Djokovic has stepped into New York as tennis headlines swirl ahead of the 2025 US Open. The champion landed at Flushing Meadows amid a chorus of speculation after skipping the Toronto and Cincinnati Masters, sparking questions about his physical state. Recently on social media, a video circulated showing Djokovic receiving treatment on his right knee during practice, prompting health concerns among fans. But in his signature fashion, Djokovic seemed unbothered, hitting the US Open practice courts in high spirits, as confirmed both by a flurry of Instagram stories and his enthusiastic sessions alongside mixed doubles partner Olga Danilovic. Sportskeeda details how Djokovic wasted no time sharing updates with his 15 million followers, crafting a narrative that he is locked in and focused despite questions about his knee.
The 38-year-old is poised to chase his 25th Grand Slam and if he succeeds, he would become the oldest men's singles champion in Grand Slam history, adding a remarkable chapter to his storied career. According to a US Open preview from Sportblog Online, Djokovic enters as the reigning men’s singles champion from 2024, but this year’s betting odds place him third behind world no.1 Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz—a signal that the tennis world is watching to see if age and health trumps experience on the New York hard courts.
Amid all this, Djokovic’s presence can be felt everywhere during Fan Week. Fox5NY, Globely News, and numerous social channels note his high-profile practice appearances and his participation in the new Mixed Doubles Championship alongside Danilovic, a pairing that already has tennis gossipers chattering. Danilovic herself, as quoted by Sportskeeda, called playing with Djokovic “the best moment” of her career and described his presence as “the best player ever” behind her.
If that’s not enough star wattage, Djokovic has crossed into pop culture again, taking his famed “violin celebration”—inspired by his daughter—to a new US Open-themed Asics ad. Tennis.com describes the spot where the Serb literally plays Vivaldi on a violin, the campaign rolling out just as he attempts to control the rhythm of the draw off-court and on.
Finally, Tennis365 reports that his old Davis Cup teammate Dusan Lajovic has weighed in on Djokovic’s prospects, backing his readiness and calling him “invincible at his best,” though warning that the main challenge is physical—especially facing younger adversaries in the latter rounds.
In summary, Djokovic is a daily headline: from fitness rumors and practice court buzz, to flashy commercials and mixed doubles comedy, the tennis world is watching every move as he aims for history at Flushing Meadows.
