He can still win one more Grand Slam but he's not at his best. It'll take alot out of him so not sure his body can hold out. Still he's happy just to ride out into the sunset even if no titles or slams.

@@jonfreeman9682 in tennis 40 is the new 35 In thai boxing 20 is the new 75 Those guys took a lot of beating on the shin, elbow, and kick to the head and still keep on going in the ring.

@@d0min0danc1ng Haha ha that's true. Alot of players are trying to extend their career into 30s so it's normal now. Even in boxing Mayweather is still boxing into his 40s which is unheard of before and he doesn't need the money. Not sure about Thai boxing but 20s is a bit young but then again they take a beating.

You mean as tourist, right? He can make nice picture as retired man with his family. Plenty of time, being surely out by 2nd round top 😂

It's understandable though and probably the smart thing to do. DeMinaur can run for hours and winning a 3-setter against him today would have been a very tough task.

He has to be careful not to go all out. One more injury and it's over. He has to hold his body together for at least Roland Garros.

😢 Nah, highly unlikely he'll play RG now. The best ever on clay , but smart enough to realise it's over.

@@jayroland7267 If he can just hold it together for one more slam. Winning Roland Garros would be the perfect way to retire. Vamos Rafa. You can do it.

I was kinda shocked to hear that too. Basically he wanted to win in 2 sets and playing longer was not an option. Wish I knew this before the match started.

But Djoker's worshipers won't accept this fact. Losing the 2023 Wimbledon final to a player who was playing his Only third tournament on grass could be more than enough to pinpoint the end of his career.

He can still win one more Grand Slam. Joker may have more Grand Slams but no one can beat the king of clay on Roland Garros.

@@danielgm2071dude,he won 3 out 4 slams last year . And could have easily won the Wimbledon final as well. End of the career??? 🙄

@@danielgm2071 Novak is #1 ATP player as of todate. It pays to be in good health by not taking toxicity of the needle.

Djokovic has 3-5 years left in the tank.

lols

Absolutely.

Saudi Arabia

Ambassador of Saudi.... 😵‍💫

He sold out to the Arabs he’s greedy

He can still win one more Grand Slam before retiring.

Rafa what a GOAT!!

​@jonfreeman9682 no

@@unodostre707 Yes, legend and 100 times more.

Hard to argue. The beauty of the goat debate is there is a case to be made for all of three

As a Roger fan, numbers don't lie. Djokovic is the best ever and we have to admit it. Even his H2H is better against both unfortunately.

@@Andrew-ch1zf lol fedalistas and their copium

@@Andrew-ch1zf Oh Yeah, you know the older I become the more respect I get for all 3. Absolute insane what they have done in this sport. its just as a kid I used to look up to Rafa so much, its a shame to see him in this state.

@@federicorusso4378 100% true

Yes yes yes

His claycourt records will remain untouched.

Debio retirarse hace 6 años.

Lo normal es que en arcilla no haya un jugador tan dominante nunca, o sea sería una reversión a la normalidad histórica. Igual creo que Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, Zverev, Sinner, Ruud y Rune serán los futuros protagonistas de arcilla.

I think he has accepted he won't be able to play at his top level, even pushing his body to the extreme, but it seems like he does have an ambition to try and play a couple of rounds in some of the most important tournaments.

He still has chance for one more Grand Slam. Roland Garros is his best chance. On hardcourt his body can't take it anymore but clay he still has chance.

De minuar ha mejorado mucho y cuando juega a su maximo puede ganar a Los top 5. Rafa ahora esta años luz de ser top 5. Quizas si hubiera sido hace 2 años (Como dijo Demon) hubiera sido otro resultado pero la precision y movimiento de demon fue superior.

Fed hung on until he was 40 which no other tennis player has done. Jimmy Connors tried to make a comeback at 38. Your body just can't hold out that long but these greats have pushed their career longer than ever before. In the past you retired by 30. Rafa is done and will ride out into the sunset even if no more titles. Joker stands alone now and amazingly is still playing great. He could scoop up more Grand Slams if he can hang on maybe 26-30 is possible. But yeah it's the end of IMO the greatest era of tennis.
