Outside of an Olympic gold medal, what exactly is there left for him to achieve? Nadal isn’t going to pass him in Grand Slam titles. He’s won every significant tournament at least once. To me it’s partly his age, his motivation without a rival to keep him hungry, and a recognition that the next generation is finally here. Maybe he makes on more run at a slam to get to 25 but I honestly would be surprised if 2025 is his final season. Everyone else in his generation is either retired or nearly there. Might be time to admit that the fire just isn’t there as much as it once was.

Djokovic at age 36 reached 4 gs finals and played 50 matches which took a toll on his body. Instead of having an off season novak unnecessarily played davis cup and united cup where he was spraying unforced errors even in the matches he won. Worst performances ever at AO, reminiscent of 2017.He would have done better if he had skipped Davis cup and united cup imo. In 3 of 7 losses, novak didn't have break points. But RG level was getting better he fought well even in the sets he lost. Just when he was back on track, knee injury happened. French tennis federation are tired of nadal and novak dominance, so they didn't seed rafa and gave him rome champion dangerous zverev and nadal got out of the tournament quickly and messed novak's scheduling in an attempt to upset his recovery time and he too was out of the tournament early. FTF got what they wanted early exits of rafa and novak. Hopefully novak will be back for Olympics

That's a lot of years he lost while he was younger than now. I love how he is so kind to all the kids watching & giving them tennis rackets, and he teaches kids how to play tennis.

I agree. An injury break could help refresh him and up his motivation.

The last result of players with most weeks at no. 1 in both WTA and ATP: 1. Novak Djokovic: 428 weeks (ATP) 2. Steffi Graf: 377 weeks (WTA) 3. Martina Navratilova: 332 weeks (WTA) 4. Serena Williams: 319 weeks (WTA) 5. Roger Federer: 310 weeks (ATP) 6. Pete Sampras: 286 weeks (ATP) 7. Ivan Lendl: 270 weeks (ATP) 8. Jimmy Connors: 268 weeks (ATP) After i see WTA's schedule, WTA has more WTA 250-1000 than ATP. Besides that the reason why WTA players spent more weeks at no. 1 than ATP may be because ATP players have to play at least 3 GS in every GS while WTA only plays only 2 sets in every GS so ATP players seem to lose motivation, be prone to injury and be exhausted of their harsh training while they get as same prize as WTA. But Steffi Graf is blessed cuz no any WTA player can beat her record since 1997 so it's definitely over 30 years until about 6 years later if Iga Swiatek can beat her record

Nole was in the spotlight last year because of his historic fight with Nadal, he reached 24 slams. Simply, after a difficult season and a record, he has no more motivation, he's had enough of everything, he has the desire, but in order to be at the top level, he has to be in a special regime, which now, at the age of 37, his wife and children are having a hard time, he knows that, he just won't say that admit. He didn't do anything this season except the semifinals of A.O. and he lost as many matches as in the last ten years. Simply, at the age of 37, your body has to be in top, top shape in order to withstand the efforts of G.S. This is not in his case, and that's why he got injured. In my opinion, he can still win GS, his body is perfect, but he must be in top, top mode, but I don't think he is ready for such sacrifices anymore. I think it will be very difficult to win another 1 G.S in my opinion, but I would like to be wrong.

Where did it all go wrong? Clearly, there's some personal things going on behind the scenes. A mediocre start to the season; for his standards, which then lead him to split with Ivanisevic and his long-time physiotherapist Ulises Badio and fitness trainer, Marco Panichi. You would think a clean slate after cleaning house would come with high results, but it's literally been the opposite. I wondered that after his biggest rivals; Roger, now retired and Rafa, soon to be next, and witnessing all of this as you stand alone that this has had an impact on him in a certain way... Novak isn't my favorite player, but I highly respect what he's accomplished and would NEVER count him out.

I cringe a bit at the pronunciation of 'Djokovic' & 'Garros' in the latest video. To help here is a link to the corrct pronunciation of Roland Garros: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWFr0dtyfr2spbA.htmlsi=2qTNbZvT83Almvq5 & here is a link to the correct pronunciation of Novak Djokovic: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZp2m9ezj8bKd9Y.htmlsi=dy-qGriGe9up-4cA It's just the long 'o' sound that sounds weird. Personally, I think the incorrect pronunciation of names is unhelpful - it only trains more people to say their names incorrectly. For English words it isn't important - there are no hard & fast rules to correct pronunciation - it isn't a phonetic language. But names I think, are important to say as the player would say it.

Not me. If Nadal and Nole are all worn out they'll just lose to the younger players... But I like to see the records really stretched and what is possible at that old age. And it makes for interesting stories and hype during the tournaments.

Novak Djokovic ❤

It's a similar injury Federer retired from, isn't it? I think Djokovic is feeling the age, simple.

I would also add that Wimbledon has a 11pm curfew & always manages to complete its schedule. I agree with the presentsr. I think if a player asks to do more court maintenance than normal (for a court that needs it) the organisers should comply. I mean I don't think the player is gaining a significant advantage with the request. It doesn't take long. The players' safety is paramount. On the flipside - the organisers ask the players to start a match past 10pm - the players concede - but a player asks for more court maintenance & the organisers don't concede. It doesn't help them gain popularity for their event. They already have crowd control issues - perhaps they should be a little more hospitable to the players' suggestions?

@@bengray5013 Reasonable points. I agree Red Clay is slippery by it's nature, they brush & water to distribute the surface more evenly to increase traction. I've played on it a lot so I understand the nature of the criticism. Wimbledon sometimes runs over into a Monday which has pros & cons - but the players generally appreciated the scheduling of a run-over - though I am not sure all fans are ecstatic about it if they can't attend. It is rare though. The sentiment about Djokovic fans being dim was taken with a pinch of salt. I'm not a Djokovic fan - I just listen to what the players say & how the event organisers could respond. If I were to admit being a fan of any players it would be Guga, Santoro & the recent players: Sinner before he became popular. During Federer, Nadal & Djokovic dominant period I preferred Murray & Warwinka but I've always liked the way Federer plays Tennis as a purist. I don't really like one player winning everything but respect how hard that is to do.

what are the % in the charts at 7:23?

Great video. We don't know all the details but his much younger opponents do get emboldened watching all these. It's twilight hour for Novak. Time changes as it has. And I wouldn't mind seeing a different #1 on Saudi-sponsored ATP ranking.

...time is against him. (and everyone)

I think an injury break could refresh Nole and get his motivation up.

Organizers have a way to do things that can change the tournament for a player that they don't like. By their action they seldom realize that the ludicrous overnight playing-time is having an effect on the most favourite player in the world. That said they also lose the trust of an audience not in their Hemisphere yet just as important. That trust they cannot regain, once they have crossed the line. Soon there will be new tournaments in countries where tennis was never centre stage. There more respect will be shown for such amazing talent. Their flags will be properly displayed and not sanctioned like the tricolours of Russia.

@@chesneytube1 Well no doubt. Age will catch all of us. But different people have different experiences. Nole doesn't look like he's lost a step and seems more mentally tough than ever. If we didn't know his age we wouldn't guess he's one of the oldest on tour... Nadal on the other hand has had knee issues for a decade or more and you can see he's lost his competing capacity.... I predict Nole will play til he is 40 or 41 and will finish with 30 GS. He hasn't had long term injury issues and still seems to have his edge.... You all may be right and he may just fall off, I don't think so though.

A bit sensationalistic video, as we've seen this movie before in 2017: He dropped his then coaches (Boris and Vajda) for the guru Pepe Imaz then Agassi Upset loss in the round of 64 in Australia to Denis Istomin Loses in straight sets (with bagel) to Thiem in French Open Retires against Berdych in Wimbledon because of elbow Misses the rest of the season: no slams, only Doha title, drops outside the top 10 ranking

You need to realize novak is already 37, in other sports most of the players at that age already past their prime

I think his main goal for the year is winning the Gold medal in Paris. The Olympic Gold is the only thing he hasn't won, he's got everything else. But each Olympic year he comes up short. This year he's got the injured knee plus having to deal with the emergence of a new generation of younger, more powerful players like Alcaraz and Sinner. I'd say Joko is lucky even if he medals in Paris, the competition is so stiff and deep. The Gold in Paris will complete his year even if he goes slam-less. I think he should skip Wimbledon if he wants to give himself enough time to recover

Hoping Djokovic has a speedy recovery from his surgery. I had meniscus surgery after suffering through shots for over 6 months (with very little help). My recovery was pretty quick, but I wasn’t going to play pro tennis on it. I’ve got on and off twinges on my other knee now . We’ll see.

Well, you haven't mentioned that Djokovic and Musetti were the only players scheduled that late in this edition of Roland Garros! They began to play around 10:45 pm, at an hour that probably all other players were about to go to sleep! After that win, Djokovic lost an entire night of sleep.

Personally, I think that you’re not being objective about the injury and its reasons. Let alone accusing the organizers for it. In tennis terms he is an old guy and has had problem with that knee way before that match. The courts were slippier than usually due to rain that troubled the event for the first week and a half. Simple as that. No matter how good the clay court is, some slipping will always happen. Some players complain about it and some players don’t

He may not play Wimbledon. It is a shame.
