Novak Djokovic said to be facing a new problem which could see him retire from tennis at the end of 2025, ‘the next six weeks are critical’

The Serbian legend enjoyed his best tournament of the season recently, when Djokovic reached the final of the Miami Open, coming up short against Jakub Mensik.

Unable to carry that momentum through to the clay season, Djokovic lost to Alejandro Tabilo in his opener at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Attempting to bounce back in Madrid, Djokovic then fell to defeat against Matteo Arnaldi, as his clay record slumped to 0-2 in 2025.

Deciding not to play the year’s third clay Masters 1000 event, Djokovic withdrew from the Italian Open, and is next scheduled to appear at the French Open.

One ATP Tour legend has now given his thoughts on Djokovic’s recent struggles and suggested the 24-time Major champion could potentially retire from tennis later this year.
