The current world No.1 Novak Djokovic has set several records in tennis that will take a mammoth effort and several years, if not decades, to match or overcome. He has created history more than once to prove that he is very deserving of being called the GOAT of the sport. Year after year, Djokovic wins Grand Slams for fun. So, the question arises, what is the ultimate goal for Novak Djokovic and where does it end for him?

And it is not just us asking this question, a lot of people feel the same. That is why, in one of his recent interviews, he finally spoke about why he continues to strive to be the best.

Novak Djokovic shares why he continues to play even after becoming the GOAT

Djokovic was asked in his interview at the Paris Masters pre-tournament presser about when he would finally hang his boots. What is the endgame for him after being the best for so many years and winning the most tournaments of any ATP player who has played this sport?

To this, he said, “I really like competing. I still feel young in my own body. It’s serving me well. I won three out of four slams. Some of them think that it’s best to leave tennis when you’re at the top. Some of them think when you figure out you can’t win the biggest tournaments anymore and that you’re losing to the young guys, then you leave it. I’m more in the second group. As long as I’m, you know, main contender for the Grand Slams and still, you know, win the biggest tournaments in sport, I will not leave.”
