Novak Djokovic says Serena Williams’ return to tennis inspires him as he prepares for Wimbledon and aims to reach a historic Grand Slam milestone. Djokovic, 39, is pursuing the record for men’s singles Grand Slam titles, currently holding 24 and seeking a total of 25.

The articles note that Williams has 23 Grand Slam singles titles, one fewer than Djokovic’s men’s record, placing the two achievements in direct comparison. While Djokovic’s focus is on his own bid for Wimbledon history, his comments tie that ambition to Williams’ widely covered comeback.
