Why would a player who won all 4 slams in a calendar year decide they should stop playing? lol

I think his motivation to be as strict in his diet, yoga and training would take a massive dive after this.
if you look at my comments from somewhere in april i said Djoker will win all 4 this year and than retire...
That would be a surreal conclusion to his career.

Chance to end his career on the highest peak result-wise? CYGS / Breaking all-time slam record

Yes, in 2023, after winning 3rd CYGS...
That would be a surreal conclusion to his career.

If nothing else I think Djokovic is greedy about numbers. Remember there’s still the YE #1, the weeks at #1, 10 AOs, etc. most importantly, there’s a guy named Rafa in Mallorca who’s also got a fair amount of Slams…
He will continue eating at the carcass until pushed away.

That would be the dumbest possible move though. There is NOTHING to gain with that anyway. And then just imagine Nadal wins 2 more Slams, which is not too unlikely, especially with Djokovic out of the game.

As the biggest and .lifelong fan of Djokovic, I want him to retire before the finals, what a way to go will that be? He should really consider that.

Yeah, Clay territory is totally dependent upon Djokovic to stop the mighty assault of Rafa next year.

I personally want to stop watching tennis TBH. Being a Djokovic fan (or a fan of any of the big 3) is very stressful

I’m done watching with the sport at a professional level once Novak calls it a career but I hope he continues for years to come

He's already said he's playing Olympics 2024 so it's not happening, unless he only comes back for Olympics which would be weird. Anyway no, when you can still win more slams and Nadal is at 20 and could conceivably win a few more, you have to keep playing.
That would be a surreal conclusion to his career.

Sampras called it quits after he won the US Open on top with 14 slams. But I think he’ll want to continue playing, one more AO would give him decent buffer room in case Rafa gets one more FO.

Maybe at 23 slams at Roland Garros 2022.

Also wouldn't give the haters the satisfaction of seeing a declined version of him getting beaten left and right

Finally I find someone who feels like me
After Sergio Ramos leaving Real Madrid and the end of Ronaldo Messi era I have lost interest in football even my fav club, Real Madrid. I have barely followed their matches since the start of the new season. I lost interest in chess, snooker, volleyball and as I said before football/soccer too. The only remaining hurdle to overcome is tennis and after that hopefully I am done with the world of sports. I mean just done with watching it not playing
So Rafa Roger and Novak please retire as soon as possible. I don't want to experience more stress cause it really hurts. And also it seems like I am wasting my time. How many skills could we have learned instead of following a thing called tennis in which the ultimate goal is to see who is better at hitting an object called ball in an area called court!
WHY do I care about a rich athlete who I have never seen before in person and root for him/her. It's been a big philosophical mystery for me since my teenage years. I am 31 almost 32, single and unemployed for now and still cannot stop watching this lovely sport
Sorry for the long reply

I wanna stop watching any sport because of the same reason. Oh god why should we experience such stressful moments for someone else's success?! Do you know the answer?!

If he goes to slump. I'd say he'll try to pull a sampras and retire.

What does this even mean? Too greedy... Why not play if you are still winning, stil the best, and feel good physically. What does greed have to do with it. Seriously...

30/500 is the goal, then he'll think about retirement

Probably? Nadal is not winning 3 more slams from this point on, especially as his body looks to be breaking down rapidly.
With Nadal being a threat at every french open (until he announces his retirement), he's not going to retire to protect his lead.
That would be a surreal conclusion to his career.

He has signed new endorsement deals, so I doubt he will retire soon.
But I get the feeling, IF he wins on Sunday, and the other 2 retire soon.....He won't stick around too long. Perhaps 2 or 3 more spirited attempts at Slams, and that's it.
I don't think he wants another RG, for instance. At most he would want to stop Rafa.....
But, who knows. I certainly don't want him to have Fed's fate.......chasing his tail, and becoming what in essence is a circus act.
