Thanks to his performances at the major tournaments, the Serbian star sits third in the \u2018Live\u2019 Race to Turin, and is on course to qualify for the ATP Finals<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most athletes at Djokovic\u2019s age are either retired or nearing retirement, although the 24-time major champion doesn\u2019t look ready to hang up his racket just yet.<\/p>\n Sharing his thoughts, Australian Open<\/a> tournament director Craig Tiley has hinted at when he\u2019s expecting the world number seven to retire.<\/p>\n Craig Tiley doesn\u2019t think Novak Djokovic will retire from tennis \u2018any time soon\u2019<\/p>\n During an interview with \u2018Clay\u2019<\/a>, Tiley gave his verdict on Djokovic\u2019s future retirement plans.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope it\u2019s a long time from now, though. He\u2019s still performing at an extremely high level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t see Novak retiring any time soon.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s at the top of his game.\u201d<\/p>\n Tiley did, however, suggest that the event already has plans in place for Djokovic\u2019s farewell.<\/p>\n \u201cAll I can say is it\u2019s going to be big,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the time comes\u2026 we do have some ideas! It would be premature to share them now.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise Tiley and the Australian Open are planning on going \u2018big\u2019 for Djokovic\u2019s retirement ceremony, considering he\u2019s the event\u2019s greatest ever player.<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic\u2019s record at the Australian Open<\/p>\n Djokovic has performed brilliantly at all four Grand Slams, but his record in Melbourne is truly remarkable, winning 91% of his matches.<\/p>\n Grand SlamTimes wonLatest performanceWin\/Loss recordWin %Australian Open10SF \u2013 202599-1091%French Open3SF \u2013 2025101-1786%Wimbledon7SF \u2013 2025102-1389%US Open4SF \u2013 2025*95-1487%Novak Djokovic\u2019s record at Grand Slams<\/p>\n Djokovic has won ten Australian Open titles during his career, more than any other player.<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic\u2019s Australian Open title wins2008 \u2013 Beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-62011 \u2013 Beat Andy Murray, 6-4, 6-2, 6-32012 \u2013 Beat Rafael Nadal, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-52013 \u2013 Beat Andy Murray, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-22015 \u2013 Beat Andy Murray, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-02016 \u2013 Beat Andy Murray, 6-1, 7-5, 7-62019 \u2013 Beat Rafael Nadal, 6-3, 6-2, 6-32020 \u2013 Beat Dominic Thiem, 6-4, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-42021 \u2013 Beat Daniil Medvedev, 7-5, 6-2, 6-22023 \u2013 Beat Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-3, 7-6, 7-6<\/p>\n To put into context just how difficult it is to win ten titles, the earliest age two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner<\/a> could match the feat is 31.<\/p>\n That is, if he wins the next eight titles in a row\u2026<\/p>\n The likelihood is that Djokovic\u2019s record will stand strong for some time, having played some of the best tennis of his career in Melbourne.<\/p>\n As the record holder, Djokovic will surely return to Australia searching for an 11th title in 2026, but how many more years does the Serb have left in him?<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic could play at the 2028 Olympic Games<\/p>\n During an interview with Slaven Bilic earlier this year, Djokovic outlined his intentions to play at the 2028 Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only thing I currently have in my vision it\u2019s interesting when we talk about those achievements and the\u00a0Olympics, which stand out alongside the Davis Cup. What gives me motivation is the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and playing for my country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd yes, the Grand Slam tournaments, but not even they motivate me as much as the Olympics.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Novak](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2233086368-1024x683.jpg\")
