Novak Djokovic has declared a Grand Slam-focused schedule in 2025, opting to skip ATP tournaments outside the majors since Roland Garros in order to maximize his chances of securing a 25th Grand Slam title, stating, “I don’t actually have any schedule other than Slams, to be honest”[1].

Djokovic is currently preparing for the 2025 US Open following an extended break from official matches since Wimbledon, using the time off for training and family, and emphasizing that he now has the luxury to pick and choose his tournaments[1][5]. In his recent press conference, Djokovic admitted he may be “coming in cold” due to the lack of match play, but has invested significant effort in training over the past three to four weeks[5].

Despite his lighter schedule, Djokovic remains competitive. As of late August 2025, he is ranked World No. 7 on the ATP Tour[6][2] and has won 1 singles title this year (ATP Geneva), with a 74.29% win percentage from 35 matches played (26 wins, 9 losses)[2]. His total career singles titles now stand at 100[4].

At the start of the US Open 2025, Djokovic made headlines for his passionate on-court presence after receiving a time violation warning just ten minutes into his match against Learner Tien, though he quickly regained composure and took an early lead[7].

Record-wise, Djokovic’s 2025 season highlights include surpassing Roger Federer’s record for career major main draw singles matches and breaking Rafael Nadal’s record for Masters 1000-level main draw wins, now standing at 411[4]. Though his participation in ATP events has been limited, his impact at the biggest tournaments remains profound.
