Tennis: Djokovic opens the door to his possible retirement. Novak Djokovic, eliminated Friday in the semi-finals of the Roland Garros tournament by the Italian Jannik Sinner, openly discussed his possible retirement. “After losing to Sinner, the Serb hinted that he might not play at Roland Garros again, although he stressed that it was only a possibility,” summarizes the sports daily AS . “It could have been the last match I played here. That's why it was even more emotional at the end,” said the 38-year-old player at a press conference after the match. “Do I still want to play? Yes. Will I still be able to in a year? I don't know,” he added. He nevertheless assured that he intends to participate in Wimbledon, where he hopes to win a 25th Grand Slam title.
