Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal Inspire Me; As Long As They Go, I'll Go, Says Novak Djokovic

World No.1 Novak Djokovic has set his eyes on eclipsing the 20 Grand Slam titles tally held by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and also the overall singles records held by Serena Williams and Margaret Court.

"Roger and Rafa inspire me. That's something that I've said before. I'll say it again. I mean, I think as long as they go, I'll go," Djokovic said after beating Russia's Daniil Medvedev to win a record-extending ninth Australian Open title on Sunday.

When asked about his goals for the year, Djokovic said: "Getting closer to maybe Roger's, Rafa's record, Serena, Margaret."

The Australian Open win will ensure that Djokovic will surpass Federer's record of most weeks spent at No.1 -- 310.
