Heading into the US Open, Novak Djokovic enjoyed an incredible season this year. Prior to the hard court Grand Slam, the Serbian won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon to assert his World No. 1 status. In the process, he tied Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal with 20 Grand Slam titles to his name.

However, Daniil Medvedev derailed Djokovic’s attempt to make history in New York, as he clinched his maiden Grand Slam in impressive fashion yesterday. Following the straight sets defeat, the World No. 1 revealed his thoughts on what the future holds for him.

Novak Djokovic reveals he has no plans for the future

The 34-year-old didn’t look like himself during the US Open this year. Except his second round victory over Tallon Griekspoor, Djokovic dropped at least one set in every match. Although he won all those matches to record an impressive statistic, he couldn’t repeat the same heroics against Medvedev.

After the Russian denied him an elusive Calendar Slam, the World No. 1 admitted his future is one without any plans. In addition, he mentioned his mind remains in New York at the moment. He said, “To be honest, I don’t have a plan, absolutely nothing. I don’t know whether I’ll play anything, anywhere. Right now, my mind is only here, in New York.”
