Novak Djokovic may still be going strong at 38, holding his own against the new generation led by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, but even he knows he can’t play forever.

Novak Djokovic has fielded plenty of retirement questions over the last few years. Aged 38, he’s still as motivated as ever by the prospect of winning a historic 25th Major title. But it’s been two years since he even reached a final at Grand Slam level, and some are wondering what he’ll do next.

The season’s final Grand Slam kicks off in New York with Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and a strong women’s field set to battle for glory.
