Djokovic targets 'golden' Grand Slam after Paris win

Novak Djokovic with the Trophy

Novak Djokovic said ‘everything is possible’ as he targets a 'golden' Grand Slam in 2021 after winning the French Open for the second time on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Serb has won both majors this year after lifting the Australian Open title in February.

He defends his Wimbledon title this month before the Olympics and US Open.

"I have put myself in a good position to go for the Golden Slam," said Djokovic, who won his 19th major by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in Paris. "Everything is possible. I've achieved some things that a lot of people thought would be not possible for me to achieve."

Djokovic, also champion at Roland Garros in 2016, became the first man to win all four Grand Slams twice since the fully professional Open era began in 1968.

Shortly afterwards, his coach Marian Vajda said the player's goal was to win Olympic Gold at the delayed Tokyo Games before completing a calendar Grand Slam at the US Open in September. (BBC)
