However, he recently stated his goal is to make it to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/onsi\/serve\/news\/novak-djokovic-shares-how-he-wants-to-retire-from-tennis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2028 Summer Olympics<\/a> in Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5k\">To do that, Djokovic will have to fend off injuries and compete against much fresher legs.
