Novak Djokovic has shut down speculation that his time at the top of tennis is coming to an end, declaring that his Australian Open victory over Carlos Alcaraz proved he’s still a force to be reckoned with.
At 37 years old, Djokovic continues to battle against a new generation of stars like Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, but some critics have questioned whether his Grand Slam-winning days are over. After failing to win a tour title in late 2024, whispers of retirement began circulating.
But Djokovic silenced those doubts in Melbourne—bouncing back from a set down to defeat 21-year-old Alcaraz in a thrilling quarterfinal showdown at the Australian Open.
Djokovic: “If I Didn’t Believe, I Wouldn’t Be Here”
Speaking to Vijesti.me, Djokovic made it clear that he has no intention of stepping away from the sport anytime soon.
“If I didn’t believe I could compete at that level with the best tennis players in the world, I wouldn’t continue to compete.”
“I think I proved by winning against Alcaraz at the Australian Open that I can still compete for the biggest trophies.”
What’s Next for Djokovic? Title No. 100 in Sight

Despite the setback, Djokovic remains laser-focused on reaching an incredible career milestone—winning his 100th ATP title.
