Novak Djokovic Reveals Post-Retirement Plans

Novak Djokovic fans can jump with joy, for their favourite champion has vowed to remain a part of tennis even after retirement. The Serb also plans on investing his time on other things, once he stops playing tennis professionally.

At 32 years of age, Novak Djokovic is approaching the final phase of his career. His standards in the sport have been sky-high for the most part, and they will remain so for another 3-4 years at least I’m sure.

Alas, time defeats every last one of us. And as unthinkable as it is to me, Djokovic will have to retire at some point in the future.

But what will he do once he does retire? Does he have any plans, or is he just going to wing it?

“I’ll be involved in different things” – Novak Djokovic

Many in Serbia look at Novak as a leader. Many of them wish, or expect him to get into politics too.

The good news is, tennis will remain a part of Djokovic and Djokovic will remain a part of tennis.

“Tennis is always going to be a very integral part of my life. Even when I stop playing professional tennis, I’m still going to be involved in tennis. We have a tennis club, and there is soon going to be a tennis academy.”

Perhaps we will even see him coaching a young gun to emulate his success on the courts. Wouldn’t that be a sight to see?

Naturally, Novak will have much more free time once he retires. Hence, there are other things he will be involved in too.

“I’m attracted a lot to the world of well-being, wellness, nutrition. So I’ll be involved in different things, in philanthropy as well with my wife. We are very passionate about the early childhood development, so we put a lot of effort and time into that.”

The Serb is already heavily invested in his social and philanthropic work. His foundation, Novak Djokovic Foundation works extensively towards providing support to children’s education.

And don’t worry, he hasn’t forgotten about his children.

“And, of course, I want to try to be the best father I can possibly be. We cannot forget about that. That’s the number one thing, then it’s tennis and then everything else.”

Those are not bad post-retirement plans at all. His knowledge and experience in the sport is priceless and young players would be lucky to have him advising them.

But all that is still far off yet. There’s many years of fabulous tennis yet to come from the greatest player of all time.
