Novak Djokovic is not even close to thinking about retirement admitting that he doesn't feel old enough to finish his career.
Djokovic had a pretty good seat to watch Federer's retirement this week at the Laver Cup but the Serbian player did not find inspiration to stage his own. His performance at the Cup was mixed with a superb win over Tiafoe and a loss against an inspired Felix Auger-Aliassime. He certainly looked more than enough to continue playing and that is the plan moving forward:
"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."
He further said:
"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. "
Concluding with:
"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."
