Novak Djokovic Odds: How Many Grand Slams Will Djokovic Win In 2023?

Novak Djokovic has a great chance of overtaking Rafael Nadal in the race to become the most decorated male tennis player of all time this year.
The leading betting sites make him the favourite to win Wimbledon and the US Open after his incredible Australian Open victory, where he only dropped a set in the whole tournament.
He has already clinched 22 Grand Slams throughout his illustrious career: 10 Australian Open titles, two French Opens, seven Wimbledon titles and three US Opens.
That leaves him on a par with Nadal, who won last year’s Australian Open and French Open.
However, the Spanish clay court specialist has been plagued with injury in recent months which caused him to withdraw from the French Open, so Djokovic has an excellent opportunity to surge clear of him in the all-time stakes.
Bookmakers offered 25/1 on Djokovic winning all four Grand Slams this year, which would be a remarkable feat. That price has since dropped to 10/1, after he was successful in the first major of the season.
You can alternatively take odds of 9/4 on him winning three Grand Slams, 6/5 on him clinching two, 3/1 on him only remaining on a single Grand Slam.
We have explored his chances in each Grand Slam and delivered our verdict on the number of major titles he will end the year with.
Can Djokovic Win All Four Grand Slams?
Only two players have ever completed a Calendar Slam in men’s singles history: Don Budge and Rod Laver.
Budge pulled it off in 1938, and Australian superstar Laver followed suit by winning the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open in 1962.
Both achievements came prior to the Open era, but Laver then repeated the feat in 1969, cementing his status as one of the greatest players in history.
While he has never won a Calendar Slam, Djokovic has won four consecutive majors: Wimbledon and the US Open in 2015 and then the Australian Open and the French Open in 2016.
He has also come close to a Calendar Slam on three occasions. In 2011, Djokovic won three majors and reached the semi-finals of the French Open.
The Serbian superstar then won the same three majors and finished runner-up at the French Open in 2015.
Finally, he won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon in 2021, before suffering a shock defeat to Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final.
Can he finally secure the elusive Calendar Slam in 2023?
French Open
This has been Djokovic’s weakest tournament over the years, as his game is not particularly well suited to clay surfaces.
He still boasts an impressive 84% win record at Roland-Garros, but he has only clinched the title twice in 18 attempts.
The first came in 2016 – his 12th attempt – when he beat Andy Murray in the final, completing a career Grand Slam.
However, there was always an asterisk against that triumph, as the dominant Nadal had to retire due to injury in the third round.
There was no such asterisk in 2021, when he prevailed in an epic semi-final against Nadal before dispatching Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final.
However, Nadal gained revenge by beating Djokovic in the quarter-finals last year, and the Serb is likely to struggle again this time around if he faces Carlos Alcaraz.
He is the 9/4 second favourite to win it with new betting sites, but Alcaraz looks a more attractive option right now.
Verdict: Loses to a clay court specialist
Wimbledon
Djokovic has not tasted defeat at Wimbledon since he was forced to retire with injury in his quarter-final clash with Tomas Berdych in 2017.
He won the tournament in 2018 and 2019, and it was cancelled due to the pandemic the following year.
It returned in 2021, when Djokovic defeated Matteo Berrettini in the final, and he defended his crown when he beat Nick Kyrgios last year.
That means he is on a 28-match winning streak on the grass courts at SW19, and he looks well priced at 11/10 with tennis betting sites to conquer Wimbledon again this year.
Verdict: Winner
