If his father is to be believed, the world number one will be off the courts in three years at the latest.

By winning the Australian Open for the ninth time this year, Novak Djokovic moved within two points of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the joint holders of the number of Grand Slams (20). A record that the Serbian is determined to break before ending his career. This is what his father announced this week in an interview with the Serbian media Tvarenasport. He even added that his son, who is currently 33 years old, will continue to play for a maximum of three years.

"He is not ready to retire as a tennis player yet. His career will last another year and a half, up to three at the most, and he will stop once all possible records are in his possession. He is still the best tennis player in the world and one of the best athletes of all time. A few days ago, an English journalist wrote that Novak's rivals are no longer Federer and Nadal, but Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. He is in that category. He is one of the best athletes of all time. "
