I announce about Djokovic's future: “Novak wants to play at least until the Los Angeles Olympics”
“Novak wants to play at least until the Los Angeles Olympics. I have no doubt that we will reach an agreement in the coming weeks for the extension of the collaboration. We talk about the type of extension. Since joining our team, he has won half of his Grand Slam titles. He contributed enormously to the brand,” said Thierry Guiber.
Djokovic's shape this season was fluctuating. Although he played well at Australian Open and Miami, he was eliminated from the first four of the seven tournaments he participated in. Currently, he has a series of three consecutive defeats and has been withdrawn from the Rome tournament Without providing an explanation, which has fueled speculation about its motivation outside major competitions.
His latest Grand Slam title was won in 2023 in New York at the US Open. On the other hand, he secured his 99th title at the simple at the Paris Olympics in 2024, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final, and is still looking for the 100th trophy.
After historical success, Djokovic confirmed that he wants to defend his gold medal.
I still want to play at Los Angeles. I especially like to play for Serbia, at the Olympic Games and in the Davis Cup, when they are part of the team. I thought that wearing the flag of Serbia at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London in 2012 was an unparalleled moment, but what I felt when the flag was raised in Paris, while the anthem was in the throat – it is something that cannot be overcome in professional sport. Is my biggest sports achievement
