Djokovic Urged to Retire in ‘Margaret Court’ Claim After US Open Debacle by Navratilova: ‘I’m Sure His Wife is Saying…’
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova recently sparked controversy by suggesting that Novak Djokovic should consider retiring, especially after his performance at the US Open. During a recent interview, Navratilova referenced the ongoing debate surrounding Djokovic’s pursuit of records, particularly the quest to surpass Margaret Court’s all-time Grand Slam titles record of 24.
Navratilova, known for her candid opinions, said that Djokovic’s relentless chase for the record might not be worth it anymore. “At some point, it’s not about the numbers,” Navratilova stated. “I’m sure his wife is saying, ‘Do you really need this?’ He’s already achieved everything. Does he need to keep going?”
The comments come after Djokovic’s recent setbacks in Grand Slam finals, raising questions about his longevity in the sport. While Djokovic remains at the top of his game, Navratilova hinted that it might be time for the 36-year-old Serbian to consider stepping away while he’s still relatively at the peak.
Navratilova’s remarks have sparked debate among fans and analysts alike, with some agreeing that Djokovic has nothing left to prove, while others believe that the champion should continue to push for every record possible. Regardless of the outcome, Djokovic’s legacy as one of the greatest players in tennis history remains undisputed.
