Novak Djokovic: ‘When I retire, I hope to have my rivals by my side’ | Other Sports | Sports

Serbian Novak Djokovic assured that, upon seeing Roger Federer’s retirement, he thought about how he wants his to be and that he wishes that when this happens he will have his greatest rivals by his side.

Djokovic, who lost this Sunday in the Laver Cup with wrist problems, spoke to the Spanish media in the mixed zone of the tournament and spoke about whether he has thought about how he wants his retirement to be when he sees Federer’s.

“I thought about it when all this happened on Friday. With all the emotions that we live… I wish that when this happens to have my greatest rivals by my side, it is my wish. When, how and where, I don’t know that anymore, “said the Serb.

“It has been a very exciting few days, because it was Roger’s farewell. We have all felt a different energy for all that he has contributed to tennis. I am very happy to have been able to be part of this European team”.

On the possibility of having played in doubles with Federer, as he did in Chicago 2018, Djokovic pointed out that the best thing was for him to say goodbye together with Nadal.

“I already played with him four years ago, but I think the best thing was that he and Nadal played the last game together, because their rivalry was very special. I consider my rivalry with Rafa and with Roger special too, but theirs is older than mine. I have enjoyed it very much. It has been nice of Rafa to come and play”, he explained. (D)
