Djokovic has not decided on his future, the possibility of retirement is still a question mark

(Dan Tri) - After withdrawing from the ATP Finals, Novak Djokovic enjoyed his vacation at Amanyara and left open the possibility of retirement, considering the next steps in his tennis career.

Novak Djokovic has yet to announce whether he will continue playing tennis in 2026. However, the Serbian has revealed the end-of-season holiday destination where he will consider his next steps in his career.

Djokovic surprisingly withdrew from the ATP Finals in Turin on the eve of the tournament, despite being in the draw. His fitness did not seem to be an issue, having won the ATP 250 title in Athens just a day earlier.

Djokovic has repeatedly expressed a lack of interest in regular tournaments in recent years, and his failure to win a Grand Slam title for the second year in a row, out of a total of 24, has led many to question his retirement.

Djokovic is scheduled to play the Australian Open in January, but it is unclear whether he will play in the warm-up events before the Grand Slam in Melbourne. For now, he has stayed away from speculation about his future, focusing on a vacation at a hotel owned by one of his sponsors.

In August 2024, Djokovic signed a deal to promote the luxury resort chain Aman, along with the legendary Maria Sharapova. He recently posted pictures of himself enjoying a vacation at the Amanyara resort in the Turks & Caicos Islands, where room rates can go up to $8,000 a night. According to the description on the Aman website, “located on the secluded shores of a ²⁰ -acre reserve, the tropical villas and lodges overlook a half-mile of white sand beach and the turquoise waters of North West Point Marine National Park.”

Amanyara offers restorative retreats and a wide range of experiences on and under the sea. Aman focuses on wellness and tranquility in its luxury holidays, and choosing Djokovic, a vocal advocate of relaxation, as its ambassador was a smart move.

“Mental health is getting more attention, and it’s well deserved,” Djokovic said. “In an individual sport , you have to deal with the difficulties on the court. Even if you have a support team, you still have to deal with it yourself. Half of the mental effort is done before you step on the court. Without preparation, it’s harder to conquer and succeed. You need a long-term and short-term strategy to find a way to win, and time on the court will help you understand that process.”
