He has plans but it’s not what everyone thinks
It seems that Novak Djokovic’s has many priorities but being considered the best player in the rankings might not be one of them. While he is considered one of the best tennis players in history, he is currently concentrating on playing the Davis Cup.
The Serbian has won all the possible championships a tennis player can and many question where the motivation may be to remain active once he has achieved all his goals, something that the press does not stop asking him.After his victory against the 770th in the world, Ioannis Wilas, where he only lost one game after winning 6-0 and 6-1, ‘Nole’ spoke to the media to talk about his future plans in tennis and the qualifying round that Serbia is in.The Serbian was very clear with his answers
Nole was asked what it means to him to play for the Serbian national team and he was very clear. “Words are unnecessary, it is actions that speak. I think my commitment says it all. With the new format I have fewer opportunities to play at home, the last time it was seven years ago.”
But he also dropped a bomb about his interests, and everyone was stunned. “The ATP Finals and being at the top of the rankings are no longer objectives for me,” he sad. “I don’t know if I will play in the finals this year or next, but now what I need most is physical, mental and emotional rest to decide what is right, what’s next in my career, how much more I want to play and where.”But he also dropped a bomb about his interests, and everyone was stunned. “The ATP Finals and being at the top of the rankings are no longer objectives for me,” he sad. “I don’t know if I will play in the finals this year or next, but now what I need most is physical, mental and emotional rest to decide what is right, what’s next in my career, how much more I want to play and where.”
This has come as a surprise to everybody because he is set to win more but now it appears he has other things in mind and people are starting to wonder if at this stage of his career he might be even closer to retirement.
