Novak Djokovic Reveals Retirement Plans After Father’s Comments

Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, has opened up about his retirement plans following comments made by his father, Srdjan Djokovic. The tennis legend, who recently added an Olympic gold medal to his illustrious career, has hinted at his future both on and off the court.

“My love for tennis will never fade away,” Djokovic stated. “I have a lot of emotions when I’m playing, and not particularly only in the tournament, but also in practice sessions. Sometimes it’s not always going your way, but my relationship with tennis goes much deeper than a tournament, a year, success, or failure”.

Djokovic emphasized his intention to remain closely connected to the sport even after retiring from professional competition. “Even when I retire from professional tennis, I feel like I’m going to stay in tennis, stay involved in different roles because I feel like I owe this sport a lot for what it has given me,” he added.

Srdjan Djokovic recently disclosed more about his son’s plans, revealing that he intends to return to his hometown, Belgrade, once his tennis career concludes. “When Novak finishes his tennis career, he will live in his city, Belgrade, his country, Serbia,” Srdjan revealed. He also expressed pride in his son for representing Serbia globally, stating, “I think there is no greater satisfaction, pride, and success than your child spreading the glory of his people and his country all over the world.”

Despite owning properties in various countries, including luxury apartments in New York’s SoHo district, Monaco, and Marbella, Djokovic plans to settle in Belgrade. His real estate portfolio reflects his international presence, but his heart remains in Serbia, reported The Mirror.
