Novak Djokovic and the dilemma of prolonging his career or ending the greatest career in history. The Serbian player is playing on two fronts because he does not rule out a possible participation in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, but at the same time, he leaves certain farewell messages at some tournaments, like the one he made at Roland Garros.

What is clear is that only Novak Djokovic knows what he has in store in the short and medium term. The overwhelming superiority of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner compared to the rest of the circuit may make the Serbian player realize that he is not up to competing against them. However, having reached the semifinals in all four Grand Slams of the season and his competitive hunger somewhat prevents him from not trying once more, as he has always done throughout his career.

No one knows Novak Djokovic's decision about his future

As expected, there are opinions of all kinds, those who believe he can no longer win and that the best way to avoid a bigger downfall is to put an end to the most successful career of all time. And those who think that a person with such innate competitiveness, capable of entering the battle between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to end up winning more majors than anyone else, may help him stay on the circuit for a couple more years to achieve his coveted 25th Grand Slam or a hypothetical participation in the Los Angeles Olympics.

Mark Knowles, former doubles world number one and winner of three Grand Slams, as well as the current coach of Jessica Pegula, is clear about it: Novak Djokovic still has a spark. This was confirmed by the Bahamian in the The Inside In-Tennis podcast, where he forecasted a couple more years of Djokovic on the tennis courts.

Mark Knowles has faith in a couple more years of Novak Djokovic's tennis

"What I have heard is that Djokovic plans to play in 2026 and 2027. It is evident that he is not thinking of retiring at all. He likes challenges and still believes in himself. It is obvious that he is focused on winning his 25th Grand Slam. In other tournaments, we shouldn't expect too much from him."

Knowles also considers that if Nole wishes to continue competing, it is the best thing that could happen to the world of tennis: "I don't think any player can find the motivation to continue playing after all he has accomplished, but he can. For tennis fans, his decision to play is very important because we all like to see the best play forever. No one has defeated time, but he is close. He is fighting against time."

Furthermore, he believes that the fact that he lost so clearly to Alcaraz and Sinner will serve as motivation for the next season: "I am sure that when he sees that the experts believe he can no longer beat Carlos and Jannik, it gives him extra motivation. It is a real challenge for him. That is why he is undoubtedly the best tennis player of all time. He has achieved everything, conquered everything," concludes a Mark Knowles who still maintains unwavering faith in Novak Djokovic's tennis.
