Novak Djokovic has shed light on his retirement plans after confessing that he was “done” with some high-profile tournaments.

The world No. 4 has had an unusual season so far – his only title win was the one he always wanted, an Olympic gold medal. But he has also suffered several disappointing early exits.

Djokovic is back in action for the first time since he represented Serbia at last month’s Davis Cup. Before that, he suffered his worst Grand Slam result in seven years, crashing out in the third round of the US Open.

The 37-year-old has played a relatively limited schedule in 2024 but he is now making his first appearance in Shanghai since 2019. Asked to describe his love for tennis at this point in his career, Djokovic turned his attention to his eventual post-playing career.
