There are plenty of legends in the game of tennis but the only legend who will most likely be considered the greatest of all time is Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has now won everything in the game whether it is Grand Slam titles or an Olympic Gold medal and has made a huge impact on the game of tennnis already. He now has an untouched legacy which willbe remembered by everyone in the game and will be celebrated by evryone.

There is no doubt that we have enjoyed every moment of Novak Djokovic on the court but there are are now questions surrounding around his retirement from the game. The former World number one is currently 37-years-old which is the age where most athletes go on to end their professional careers. Not only that but the injury issues of Djokovic have also caught a lot of attention to which people are coming to believe that Djokernole's career might be coming to an end really soon.

Patrick gives his opinion

There will be a lot of fans who will debate on this topic but the right man to discuss the future of the players is legendary coach Patrick Mouratoglou who has coached some of the world class tennis players we know today. Mouratoglou has given his views on Djokovic's career saying " I think Novak can still play 3 or 4 years at the highest level. The real question is about his motivation. I think he really struggled with motivation until the Olympics." Patrick has also gone on to say that he is in incredible shape and is still in unbelievable form which says a lot about the work ethic and nature of the athlete.

Patrick also went onto say which players will be the final  competition for Novak and to no surprise picked the names of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner stating " The only confrontation he can have now is probably Carlos and Jannik pushing him, beating him, him feeling his ego touched and wanting to show that he's still great.” We do not know if these words from Patrick will come true but if it is coming from an experienced individual like him there might be a chance we might get the next 4 years of Djokovic playing.
