Novak Djokovic will not retire anytime soon, believes Jannik Sinner

Sinner says Nole is an inspiration to him and doesn’t think the ATP leader will retire from professional tennis anytime soon. Jannik defeated the Serb in the groups, but was unable to give him much trouble in the final.

“He won 24 Grand Slams. He’s won here seven times now, hasn’t he? His body is in incredible shape. We’ll see him around for I don’t know how many years yet.

What I’ve said on the pitch is that he’s an inspiration because he’s worked all those years before, when he was younger, in the right way, to get to this point. That’s one of my goals too, right?

It’s not just about one season. You look at this season and say, ‘Okay, he played well.’ But you have to play every season in a good way and you have to get to a certain age, 35, 36, 37 or whatever, and still be able to feel the body the right way.

The match is a physical battle now because the balls are getting so fast that you have to be physically ready. Also, mentally you have to understand very quickly what is happening.

That’s what he does better than anyone else right now. He won three Grand Slams out of four. He won the year-end tournament. He won Masters tournaments.

He played very, very well in the big moments. He knows how to handle the situation, especially in the semi-finals and finals. This is good for him” – Jannik Sinner.
