Retirement Djokovic, the Serbian tennis player fresh off winning the Olympic gold medal that made him a true legend is thinking of farewell
No one expected this, especially since he was coming off a major injury. But Novak Djokovic, winning Olympic gold in Paris by beating Alcaraz in the final, has gone straight into the legend of the sport. With the five-ring tournament he won everything that was possible to win. Yes, for many, many, many years he will be spoken of again and again and again.
Nole is now ready to return to the court, in the next Slam of the season: the Us Open is just around the corner and a cannibal like him has every intention of winning again. Over the course of his extraordinary and resounding career Djokovic has won 24 Slams. Now he feels “ready” for No. 25. And who knows, that might even say one thing, at least according to what women’s tennis legend Chris Evert told ESPN. The words were reported by tennisworlditalia.com.
Retiring Djokovic, here’s what could happen
“If he won the 25th Slam, I think he would stop playing. He would break the bond with Margaret Court, who won the Olympics. Winning the Games was a very important goal for him. As for winning the US Open, does it mean so much to win the 25th? Can he have the same energy he had in the Olympics? He will face, once again, very tough competition: can he do it twice in a row, at the Olympics and the US Open? I would allow him to retire after that, I would say, ‘Okay, you are allowed to retire’. “
In short, it might end up just like that. Who knows. We’re certainly not in Nole’s head and can’t really know what his thoughts are. But maybe even he is now starting to consider this option. He would go out as the undisputed king, he would go out knowing that he is the strongest to be perhaps the strongest ever. Yes, because what he has won nobody has won, what he has been able to do is something that is sensational for everybody. He does not have Federer’s class, and the elegance of the Swiss, however, he is historic for the sport. We will see what happens over the next few weeks.
