Novak Djokovic expressed his desire to return to Wimbledon "at least one more time" following his semi-final defeat to Jannik Sinner. The match concluded on Friday, with Djokovic losing in straight sets, marking the end of his latest pursuit for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.

At 39 years old, Djokovic acknowledged the pressure many athletes feel but stated he does not feel compelled to extend his career. He noted, "I would like to [return to Wimbledon], at least one more time. Let's see."

This year’s Wimbledon was viewed as a crucial opportunity for Djokovic to secure another Grand Slam before retirement, especially after reaching the semi-finals of all four majors in 2025, alongside one final and one semi-final this year.

Djokovic reflected on his performance:

For 99 percent of the players, that would be a very good [set of] Grand Slam results. For me, it's good but not good enough.

• He emphasized the internal conflict of adjusting his expectations while still competing at a high level.

Despite the loss to Sinner, Djokovic highlighted the positive aspects of his tournament journey, including victories over top players like Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

He shared insights into his ongoing passion for tennis, stating, "Of course, I still enjoy the thrill of competition... I still can play as a top 10, top five player. Let’s see what the future brings."

Djokovic's journey continues as he prepares for the upcoming US Open, reminding fans of his enduring competitive spirit and dedication to the sport.
