King Djokovic Isn’t Ready To Vacate His Throne
After decimating Adrian Mannarino 60 60 63 to reach a quarterfinal showdown vs American Taylor Fritz, ATP world No. 1 and defending AO champion Novak Djokovic, age 36, revealed his thoughts on retirement…
“I actually talked about it few times the last year or so, that I feel while being No. 1 and still on top of the game, I don’t feel like leaving tennis in that position. I feel like I want to keep on going. When I feel that I am not able to compete at the highest level with the guys and be a contender for a Grand Slam title, then I’ll probably consider going into retirement. But that can change, obviously. I mean, a lot of things can change. I’m not a teenager anymore. I’m a father and a husband. A lot of things happening in the private life off court that I enjoy, that require my attention, my presence, my energy. Yeah, still I’m really blessed to be where I am. Let’s see.”
