“I love the competition, I love the challenge, and I still feel strong and capable of competing with the younger players – that’s a big part of the fun for me,” he told Esquire.
Djokovic also noted that winning the gold at the Paris Olympics was one of the greatest moments of his career.
“Olympic gold was a lifelong dream for me. I went to four Olympic Games, and for a long time that medal was missing. To win in Paris, at 37, representing Serbia, is without question one of the greatest moments of my career.
“Standing there, singing the national anthem, holding the gold medal – it’s a feeling that stays with you forever, not just in your memory but in your whole body. I’ve never experienced emotions like that on a tennis court before. The tears just came, naturally. It was very pure, very powerful,” Djokovic said.
