Years go by, tennis seasons come and go, and there he is, Novak Djokovic. The Serbian, winner of 24 Grand Slams, continues to fight at 39 years old. Just look at his performance at Wimbledon. From the very beginning, he showed he could beat anyone, and even a hypothetical 25th major for the Serbian began to be dreamt of. However, his tank emptied in his epic five-hour and fifteen-minute victory against Félix Auger-Aliassime, and he arrived at the semifinal against Jannik Sinner without energy.

Despite his defeat and three years without winning a Grand Slam, the last one being at the US Open in 2023, the lesson that Djokovic is giving, without needing to prove anything to anyone, will be one of the greatest triumphs to be remembered. The fact that he continues to perform at that age has left former professional player Mark Philippoussis amazed, retired due to injuries at just 29.

"When I played, unfortunately, I stopped playing at 29 due to injuries, and I think it was challenging to play at 32. Things are different now; many things have changed thanks to technology, understanding of the body, the possibility of extending people's professional careers, and also proper nutrition. But it's incredible what Djokovic is doing. He has taken professionalism to another level," said the Australian in an interview with Tennis365.

"I’m trying to prove myself wrong more than anybody else."

Furthermore, he did not hesitate to compare the Serbian to two other great sports personalities: "You're talking about LeBron James being the same, and Tom Brady too, who continued to play at the highest level at an age when players typically retire. As fans, if you love tennis, we should relax, appreciate that, and simply enjoy watching him play as long as we can," concluded a surrendered Mark Philippoussis in admiration of the experience of Novak Djokovic.
