“I mean, this might have been the last game I’ve played here, so I don’t know, so even in the end I was a little more emotional,” he said.
“But if this was a Roland Garros farewell match for me in my career, it was great in terms of vibes and what I got from the crowd.”

Of the “Big 3”, only Djokovic is active and dominant.
“Want to play more? Yes, I will. But can I play here in 12 months? I don’t know,” he added. “I said that might have been my last match (here). I didn’t say it was.”
Djokovic said he was going to compete. At Wimbledon. Last year, Serbian tennis pros failed to win a grand slam for the first time in seven years. His final victory took place at the US Open in 2023. His final victory at Wimbledon was in 2022.
