Retirement Djokovic, surprise official announcement from the Serbian champion who told the truth about what his future will be. Here are his words. Fans open-mouthed
Novak Djokovic is expected to play Roland Garros but first he decided to play the Masters 250 in Geneva. An unexpected decision for everyone, especially since the Serb does not seem to be going through his best moment of form. Age is advancing for everyone and even he is now obviously thinking especially about when the retirement date will come. Normal, logical.
It is not easy for athletes who tie their lives to the sport, or any sport, to have to leave. We saw it with Federer and we’re seeing it with Nadal as well. Who is making the rounds around the World almost to bid farewell to all those fans who have loved him over the years. In short, even for Nole the end is not that far away given the years. And if in Australia he had spoken sharply about missing his children, just in Switzerland, however, he almost took a step back. Significantly distancing the announcement about retirement that sooner or later, unfortunately, will have to come.
Retirement Djokovic, here are the Serb’s words
Chatting with reporters on the eve of his tournament debut, Nole was asked how he handles his injuries and especially how you see the ones that are plaguing Rafa Nadal. His answer was as usual direct, the kind you can’t comment on or try to comment on because, objectively, they are crystal clear.
“I’m sad about all the injuries that Nadal has suffered,” said the Serbian champion, current number one in the World, “and I feel lucky when I look back on my career. I hope to stay fit for a while longer, because I love this sport and I don’t feel retirement is close. I know I did not start the season well, I will try to find the right feelings again.” In short, a very distant farewell then. Especially if in this second part of the season he should show that he is fit again and has also recovered from the blow to the head suffered in Rome. A random accident that, according to him, affected him.
