Novak Djokovic hints at two more years on tour, revealing bold goal for 2028
Novak Djokovic has revealed that competing at the 2028 Olympic Games remains one of his biggest motivations, hinting that he could continue playing for at least two more years.
The Serb has already achieved almost everything in tennis and is not getting any younger, which has led many fans to speculate that retirement could arrive in the near future.
However, Djokovic’s latest comments suggest he is still planning ahead, with the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics firmly on his long-term radar.
Novak Djokovic says 2028 Olympics remains one of his biggest goals
Djokovic spoke about the possibility during a press conference on Saturday, where he explained that reaching the next Olympic Games remains a major objective.
“I mean, that’s one of the long-term goals, let’s call it that way, to reach the Olympics,” he began by saying.
The Serbian legend acknowledged that staying competitive for several more years will be a challenge given the stage of his career.
“That would be nice. I mentioned it a couple of times in the last year or so and, you know, it’s still a long way. You know, I think at my age and my stage of my career, every year seems like, you know, longer period than for anyone else who is younger.
“But I’ll try to make it, you know. Definitely one of the motivations, so I’ll try to be there.”
