Semi-finalist of the last Roland-Garros, Novak Djokovic, now 38, said in an interview on Serbian television that he intended to go to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Last week, after his defeat in the Roland-Garros semi-finals against Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic confided that he may have played his last Porte d’Auteuil match. But that does not mean that this is the start of the end for the Serbian player, still world n ° 5 at 38 years old. While his accomplices of the Big Four Roger Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal have all retired and the Era Carlos Alcaraz – Jannik Sinner seems to open, the man with the 24 Grand Chelem tournaments said in an interview on Serbian television that he did not count retire. On the contrary, he is still played until 2028!
“The only thing I have in mind right now, and that gives me motivation is the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, and play for Serbia, and Grand Colam tournaments. But even the big chelems, not as much as the Olympic Games. This moment, wearing the flag of his country, going to the village with the best Olympians, this feeling is sport. Those who have not experienced it cannot fully understand it, but the athletes who have had the honor to experience it, it is really something, “he said.
Djokovic already tanned in… 2008
Novak Djokovic has never hidden in recent months that winning the gold medal in Paris last summer had been the greatest moment in his career, he who has already won 100 titles and a Davis Cup. Relive the same thing in Los Angeles in three years so dreams, 20 years after having won his first medal, in bronze in Beijing. This statement does not seem to be a word in the air, since last month, the CEO of Lacoste, the equipment supplier with whom Novak Djokovic is under contract until the end of 2025, declared: “Novak wants to go at least to the Los Angeles Olympic Games. I am convinced that we are going to find common ground ”. The Serbian will therefore not be playing on earth, but he seems convinced that he can still shine on other surfaces.
