There is no doubt that this season has been full of surprises and one of the rare moments of the 2024 season was seeing Serbian Legend Novak Djokovic not winning a title and dropping down in the rankings. Apart from winning the Gold Medal in the Olympics, Djokovic has failed to win a single ATP Title playing in two finals and failing against young stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Henin considers 2024 another successful season for Djokernole

There might be a lot of people saying that this was quite an underwhelming season for Novak Djokovic, but it turns out Former WTA World number 1 and 7-time Grand Slam winner Justine Henin has a different perspective on the season of the 37-year-old considering it to be another success for him. Justine said, "Of course his season was successful. He went and got the title he wanted, that was his ultimate goal. He went through a lot of phases this season, including certainly a phase of demotivation and then things to manage on a physical level too – but there was only one place where he wanted to shine."

Though we cannot completely agree with Justine since this season was not really up to Djokovic standards, we cannot ignore the fact that the Olympic Gold was one of the best tournaments for any tennis player and the way Djokovic achieved it with all the difficulties he was facing should be an inspiration to everyone all around the world on how to overcome the tough times of your career.
