Novak Djokovic has played some of the best tennis of his life in 2020 but he regrets the failure to win either the U.S. Open or the French Open in his bid to become the world's most trophy-laden player, the world number one said on Thursday.

Having won the Australian Open in January, Djokovic was disqualified at the U.S. Open after inadvertently hitting a line judge in the neck with a petulant swipe of the ball during his fourth-round clash with Pablo Carreno Busta.He was then blown away by Carreno Busta's Spanish compatriot and world number two Rafael Nadal in straight sets at Roland Garros.

"There is a lingering regret that I didn’t win either the U.S. Open or the Roland Garros this year," a bearded Djokovic told reporters in drenching sun at his tennis academy in downtown Belgrade by the Danube river. "The U.S. Open disqualification notwithstanding, I have only lost one match all season and I've played some of the best tennis of my life."
