Novak Djokovic Says He’s No Plan to Retire in Near Future

Novak Djokovic believes that by following his own body care treatment program, he will be able to reach the top in a few years.

The Serbian icon on Tuesday confirmed in an ATP interview that he has no plans to retire in the near future.

“I don’t feel yet so old, to be honest, for my tennis career to finish. I still feel my body is serving me, is listening to me well. That’s the key I think when you get to 35-plus.” Djokovic said.

Djokovic denies that Roger Federer’s retirement has had any psychological impact on him. The 21 grand slam champion  looks up to his senior and believes Federer’s 24-year career is an example for other players to utilise.

“I have a formula for staying successful. This formula works for me, but it may not work for others. It comes down to who you are, how you train and how you live. It all helps to maintain a long-term career.” Djokovic said.

“I have a massive respect for Roger, and to what he had contributed to our sport. He had an epic career, he can be proud of it. He’s one of the most recognised athletes of all time. His retirement is a sad moment for tennis.” Djokovic added.

Since the start of the year, Djokovic has only performed in 30 matches as a result of missing some tournaments due to a lack of vaccine passports.

However, he capture two major championships, Wimbledon and the Rome Masters. Rafael Nadal holds the record with 22 grand slams.

Djokovic will compete in the Tel Aviv Watergen Open. The top seed will play Spaniard Pablo Andujar or Brazilian Thiago Monteiro in his opening match.

“I was committed to play at Laver Cup and I also wanted to play for three weeks in a row, so Tel Aviv was a perfect choice for me,” Djokovic said.

“Also because I haven’t been here for a while and the last time here I had a fantastic experience.” he added.
