Retirement Djokovic: The Serbian athlete who keeps playing is the last to quit. But sooner or later he will retire. Here’s the announcement that’s a sledgehammer
Nole Djokovic, with his victory in the Paris Olympics, has put his stamp on every tournament in which he has participated. A sensational athlete who made tennis history and will be remembered forever.
The Serb is the last of those who revolutionized the game still to be well within the circuit. Federer has been retiring for a while now, and in recent weeks there has also been Nadal’s. In short, the last flag among the young people who are catching on, and among them is our own Jannik Sinner. But when will Djokovic decide to retire? One announcement was made by Jimmy Connors, who has a well-known podcast “Advantage Connors,” in which he comments on what’s going on.
Djokovic withdrawal, Connors’ words
“It’s hard for me to say that he has had a drop in motivation because he does everything in the course of his days to always be at his best. With his very thorough training and nutrition everything in his day is focused on tennis and being in the best shape possible on the court.” “I would like to say it in the right way but getting old is getting old. “

A first part that foreshadows what he will say next, “There are a lot of young guys who see him as a little more vulnerable. He’s not playing up to the standards we’re used to. But he has the kind of game I like. He has a good response, an aggressive response. You can never rule him out as a favorite. He has courage, game, intensity.” “He’s had major defeats against Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, it’s true but the only situation in which he can think about saying goodbye to everybody and leaving is if some of those other young up-and-comers also start to step up, grow, create problems for him and beat him. If not, he will still stay, continue to play, and, I might add, what’s wrong with that? “
