Djokovic’s role model of the football legend and continuing the sport until the age of 40

According to Fars news agency, Novak Djokovic, the number one tennis player in the world, does not intend to hang up his racket anytime soon because he hopes to follow the example of Tom Brady, the great American football player, by continuing his career after his 40th birthday. Tom Brady said goodbye to the world of sports at the age of 45.

World number one Novak Djokovic, who is preparing to begin his 22nd season as a professional tennis player with an exhibition match against Carlos Alcaraz in Riyadh on December 28, said he has learned a lot from Brady.

In this regard, the holder of 24 Grand Slam titles told reporters in Riyadh: Tom Brady was a great example of a champion in sports. He is someone who has had a long career in sports.

He added: I know him personally and I learned a lot from him. I hope to be able to play tennis until I’m 40, maybe even beyond that.

Tom Brady was at Roland Garros in June to see his friend at the French Open.

Djokovic noted: I feel good right now and I’m playing really well. 2023 was one of the best seasons I’ve had in my life so why are you still playing great stop? So I’m going to keep going and take each year one by one, see how far I get.
