So Sad to say goodbye: Novak Djokovic drops clearest retirement hint yet with eight-word comment
Novak Djokovic appears to have no intention of retiring anytime soon. The newly-crowned Olympic champion has revealed his intention to defend the title at the Los Angeles Games.
Djokovic finally won gold at the fifth time of asking, ticking off his last remaining goal in tennis. He’s become just the fifth player in the sport’s history to achieve the so-called Golden Slam in singles – winning all four majors and the Olympics – after Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.
While there’s nothing of note left for the 37-year-old to win, he’s still hungry for more success. And that includes becoming the first player to appear in six singles Olympic competitions come four years’ time in LA.
