After losing to Jannik Sinner in the French Open semifinals, Novak Djokovic reflected on his future at the tournament, uncertain if he will return at age 39. He emotionally addressed the crowd, indicating that this might have been his last match there, leading to an outpouring of emotion. Djokovic remains committed to competing, specifically at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, but acknowledges that he is unsure about events beyond that. His ongoing pursuit of a 25th Grand Slam title remains a motivation for him.
"I mean, this could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don't know. That's why I was a bit more emotional even in the end."
"But if this was the farewell match of the Roland-Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful one in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd."
"I don’t know really what tomorrow brings in a way at this point in my career. You know, I am going to keep on keeping on."
"Do I wish to play more, yes I do. But will I be able to play here in 12 months' time, I don't know."
