The last time he ended a season without winning multiple titles was nearly 20 years ago\u00a0in\u00a02005\u00a0when his single triumph was at a Challenger event. Nevertheless, Djokovic\u00a0currently\u00a0has no plans to follow in the footsteps of Rafael Nadal and enter retirement.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMy main motivation comes from love and passion for the sport, and also the desire to keep competing.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0He said.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese are kind of the matches and challenges that I still strive for, to be in a position to play against the best players in the world, on the biggest stage, in the finals of some of the biggest tournaments in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s\u00a0what I work for and why I\u00a0still keep on\u00a0pushing myself. I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0know what the future brings,\u00a0I\u2019ll\u00a0just\u00a0try to\u00a0kind ofgo with the flow to see how I feel at a given moment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u00a0still plan to compete and play next season\u00a0and\u00a0let\u2019s\u00a0see how far I go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 37-year-old states his goal is peaking at the four Grand Slam events. There are also new milestones he can achieve in his career\u00a0such\u00a0as becoming only the third player to win a 100th ATP title in the Open Era. Furthermore, should he win another hardcourt event, he will set a new record for most titles won on the surface at 72. He is currently tied with Roger Federer.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic will now head to Saudi Arabia to compete in the King Six Slam exhibition. He is yet to confirm his plans for the remainder of the season but is in contention of qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic insists he still has the passion and motivation to keep playing on the Tour despite the lack of trophy wins in recent months.\u00a0 The 24-time&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
