Novak Djokovic says he still believes he can win an outright record 25th Grand Slam singles title - despite being given a "slap from reality in the last couple of years".

The Serb great equalled Margaret Court's record of 24 major singles titles with his 2023 US Open triumph, but the emergence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner has prevented him from going one further.

Alcaraz and Sinner, the world's top two players, have split the past eight Slam titles between them.

Djokovic met Sinner and Alcaraz in the semi-finals at three of the four majors this year but injury and fatigue hampered the 38-year-old on each occasion.

"I believe that to some extent I am the superman who can never injure myself, that can never be weak," Djokovic said in an interview with Piers Morgan.

"But I got a slap from reality in the last couple of years. I'm just getting to know this new chapter."
