The 38-year-old, who holds a record 24 Grand Slam men’s singles titles, remains one of the sport’s most consistent performers despite the recent retirements of long-time rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Djokovic has underlined that motivation and performance, rather than age, will determine how long he stays on the tour.
The Serbian enjoyed another strong season in 2025, reaching the semi-finals of all four Grand Slam tournaments. His consistency at the majors was matched by further success on the ATP Tour, where he claimed his 100th career title at the Geneva Open, a milestone that reinforced his longevity at the top of the game.
Djokovic ended the year on a high note with victory at the Hellenic Championship in Athens, adding another trophy to an already unparalleled collection. The title further demonstrated his ability to remain competitive against younger opponents on the circuit.
