I think Djokovic will fighto for a long long time! Hahaha! Genius! THE GREATEST! Don't cry haters, admire the greatness.

-2 ( +6 / -8 )

Yes he's probably the best of all time. But definitely not the most popular.

-1 ( +5 / -6 )

Another trophy to put a smile on the face of the old GOAT, a smile that hides the question he is now surely asking himself: how much longer?

-3 ( +2 / -5 )

He said it in the interview after the US Open win: when he will start losing in the early stages of tournaments to the youngsters, he will start thinking about retirement; until then, he will fight on, while selecting less tournaments and focusing on grand slams.

Look very much forward to watching him play more, win /or lose with heart, give more fantastic interviews and basically stick it to the haters more and more.

-2 ( +5 / -7 )

Yes he's probably the best of all time. But definitely not the most popular.

I'd gladly take that tradeoff

6 ( +9 / -3 )

But definitely not the most popular.

Who cares about that? It's ability and principles that count, and Djokovic has proved has has plenty of both.

And and a nice little irony from the recent tournament was that Djokovic performed the shot of the day, sponsored by none other than... Moderna.

The 36-year-old Djokovic defeated Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to pull level with Margaret Court's all-time mark for most major singles crowns.

There they go again, AFP…

Novak Djokovic so far has had only one nightmare when teenager Alcaraz pulled his rod and pulled him out the Wimbledon Fishing Court last summer.

Tennis stars, footballers, cricketers, and other sports persons spend the greater part of their youth practicing, getting trained, make all types of sacrifices to excel in the sports of their choice. Playing as long as possible is good thinking. They need to do justice to all the investment they and others have made in their development. All the best to Novak, CR7, Messi, Benzema, Muller, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rohan Bopanna, Sunil Chhetri, and their fellow senior colleagues in different sports and games.

Congrats to Novak, the Greatest Of All Time, on and off the court. The majority of us would take skill, determination, honor and a strong moral compass over fickle "popularity."

-4 ( +3 / -7 )

He will have 3-4 more years at the top. 5-6 more grand slam wins.

-1 ( +1 / -2 )

He still has so much love and passion for tennis. Big respect !
