Two-time major finalist Mark Philippoussis has spoken to Tennis365 about the 2026 Wimbledon men\u2019s event and Novak Djokovic\u2019s quest to win another Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n
Djokovic<\/a> has been the men\u2019s Grand Slam singles title record holder since he overtook his great rival Rafael Nadal by winning his 23rd major at the 2023 French Open.<\/p>\n The Serbian then claimed his 24th Slam at the 2023 US Open, which remains his most recent major triumph.<\/p>\n Djokovic will face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships<\/a>, with the winner taking on world No 1 and reigning Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner in the last four.<\/p>\n The 39-year-old is vying to make history by becoming the oldest major singles champion ever, while victory at Wimbledon would see him equal Roger Federer\u2019s men\u2019s record of eight titles.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to Tennis365 at the All England Club, Philippoussis commented on Djokovic\u2019s Wimbledon hopes as he gave his verdict on the men\u2019s tournament at the All England Club.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing\u2019s a given, especially in sports, and especially this Wimbledon. I feel like there\u2019s been a lot of matches where there\u2019s been some slight upsets,\u201d said the Australian, who reached a career-high ranking of world No 8.<\/p>\n Marcos Baghdatis reveals if he wants Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Jannik Sinner admits French Open physical struggles may not be fully solved despite Wimbledon progress<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

He\u2019s looking fresh. Could this be his 25th Grand Slam? There\u2019s no reason why it can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n \u201cI think if there\u2019s one tournament, one Grand Slam where it could be it, grass, for me, makes the most sense. Because you shorten up the points, and he\u2019s such a master on this court; using the slice and mixing up the play.<\/p>\n \u201cThe guy was a couple of sets away from winning the [2026] Australian Open, as well.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is one of the tournaments where you just sit back and enjoy the good matches that they play.\u201d<\/p>\n Philippoussis was a runner-up to Patrick Rafter at the 1998 US Open and Federer at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Roger Federer picks his favourite Wimbledon match of all time \u2013 \u2018It\u2019s iconic\u2019<\/a> The post Novak Djokovic winning his 25th Grand Slam at Wimbledon \u2018makes the most sense\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two-time major finalist Mark Philippoussis has spoken to Tennis365 about the 2026 Wimbledon men\u2019s event and Novak Djokovic\u2019s quest to win another Grand Slam title.
