Colorado Star (ANI) Thursday 9th February, 2012

World number one Novak Djokovic has said it would be 'very cool' to match legendary Rod Laver's record of winning all Grand Slam titles in one year.

He has revealed that he has his eyes set on becoming the second player since Laver to accomplish this feat.

When he was asked how would it feel to achieve Laver's feat, Djokovic replied: "It would be very cool."

Djokovic said: "It's a hard task to ask for, obviously. It excites me and gives me goose bumps and butterflies when I think about it. You have to be consistently successful in order to be one of the top tennis players, but everything is possible," he added.

According to The Sun, Djokovic won three of the four Grand Slams in 2011. (ANI)
