Djokovic’s Retirement Dilemma

In the face of persistent questions regarding his retirement plans, Novak Djokovic has remained tight-lipped about his future in tennis. Nole’s enigmatic stance on the matter has kept fans and sports enthusiasts in suspense, eagerly awaiting his decision and contemplating the impact his potential retirement would have on the sport.

And for Novak it’s not the end, but in a year-and-a-half let’s say. My wish as a father – I’ve thought for some time that he should have stopped working this extremely difficult job”, Srdjan said in Sportal’s documentary “Novak Djokovic – Untold Stories”.
