Djokovic Faces Sincaraz Era: "Now or Never" Mentality
17 Jan
Summary
- Djokovic feels he lacks energy to compete with younger rivals at majors.
- He has adopted a 'now or never' mentality for his pursuit of a 25th Grand Slam.
- Djokovic recently withdrew from the PTPA, citing misaligned values.
Novak Djokovic is embracing a "now or never" mentality as he begins his pursuit of a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open. The 38-year-old tennis icon acknowledges that younger rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who have dominated recent majors, are currently performing at a higher level.
Djokovic recently withdrew from his planned tune-up tournament, citing a need to conserve energy for the majors. He has experienced physical challenges, including a torn hamstring last year, but remains focused on maintaining peak performance throughout the tournament.
In a separate development, Djokovic announced earlier this month his departure from the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), which he co-founded. He stated his values and approach no longer aligned with the organization's direction, though he still supports the concept of player-only representation.
