With 24 Grand Slam titles and at 36 years of age, Novak Djokovic is still going strong.
After the World Number 1 men's singles player reached the Australian Open quarterfinals, Djokovic revealed his retirement plan.
'I actually talked about it few times the last year or so, that I feel while being No. 1 and still on top of the game, I don't feel like leaving tennis in that position. I feel like I want to keep on going.'
'When I feel that I am not able to compete at the highest level with the guys and be a contender for a Grand Slam title, then I'll probably consider going into retirement.'
'But that can change, obviously. I mean, a lot of things can change. I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm a father and a husband. A lot of things happening in the private life off court that I enjoy, that require my attention, my presence, my energy. Yeah, still I'm really blessed to be where I am. Let's see how far it goes,' said Djokovic.
The Serbian was ruthless in his previous Australian Open outing and thrashed Adrian Mannarino 6-0, 6-0, 6-3. He reached the Australian Open quarterfinals to match Roger Federer's all-time Grand Slam record.
It was also Djokovic's 14th Australian Open quarterfinals which is equal second on the all-time list with Rafael Nadal and John Newcombe. The difference is that he's converted most of those quarterfinal runs into titles at Melbourne Park.
