Novak Djokovic reflects on the future after French open loss to Jannik Sinner

Novak Djokovic may have played his last match at the French Open.

The 24th time Grand Slam champion hoped to expand his record at Roland Garros this weekend with a trip to the gentlemen’s single finals, but he lost to Jannik Sinner in straight set Friday.

Djokovic, 38, seemed emotional when he collected his bags. He kissed his hand and touched the clay surface of the court Philippe-Chatrier. Then he talked about the fight and signaled that it could have been his last at the French Open.

“I mean, this could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don’t know. That’s why I was a little more emotional, even in the end,” he said.

“But if this was the farewell match for Roland-Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful battle with regard to the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd.”

Of the “big three”, only Djokovic remains active – and dominant.

“Want to play more? Yes, I do. But will I be able to play here in 12 months? I don’t know,” he added. “I said it could have been my last match (here). I didn’t say it was.”

Djokovic said he is planning to compete in Wimbledon. Last year, the first time marked the seven years, the Serbian TennisPro, could not win a Grand Slam. His last win came in 2023 on the US Open. His last win at Wimbledon was in 2022.

“I feel like playing Wimbledon. I want to play open. These two, certainly. For the rest, I’m not so sure,” he said.
