The other two members of the renowned “Big Three” may be considering retirement now that Roger Federer has retired from tennis, but Novak Djokovic has stated that he does not feel “aged enough” to think about doing so just yet.
Given Federer’s 41-year-recent old’s troubles with injuries, his decision was not surprising, but the Swiss great’s tearful exit from the sport was still greeted with sadness by fans and former competitors.
The longevity of his great opponents, Rafa Nadal and Djokovic, has come into clearer light as a result of his departure, and fans and commentators have questioned how the men’s tennis industry would fare if it lost its most marketable players.
“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,”saod Djokovic.
The most physically fit of the three, Djokovic, claimed that he had altered his schedule as needed to take care of his body.
“I’m not playing as much as I played few years ago. I want to peak at the best tournaments, biggest tournaments in the world, which are Grand Slams and some of the biggest ATP events, playing for my country,” the Serb added.
“That’s what gives me the most motivation and inspires me to play the best tennis. I really want to keep going. I don’t have the ending of my career on the horizon at the moment.
“I just want to keep going as long as I feel good and I can compete with the youngsters, that I could be one of the candidates to win Grand Slams.”
