Winner Sinner
Hall of Fame
Not that there were many doubts, but with Nadal's retirement there is now absolute certainty that Djokovic will end his career as the holder of the greatest number of slams won. Will this factor affect the Serbian's psyche?
In this regard, I tried to hypothesize two scenarios;
1) Djokovic in 2025, having that certainty and having also taken away the weight of the Olympic gold, will face the season with a state of inner serenity which will allow him to return to performing at his best, countering the Sinneraz hegemony without any extra pressure.
2) Djokovic in 2025, having that certainty and having also taken away the weight of the Olympic gold, will face the season without any more stimuli, and this could accelerate his retirement.
How do you see it.
In essence, could Nadal's withdrawal affect this last phase of Djokovic's career in some way, or will the Serbian simply continue to go his own way without being influenced by others in his timetable?
