I’ve been struggling’ – Novak Djokovic makes sad confession after matching unwanted rare feat…

By | March 9, 2025

Novak Djokovic, the 37-year-old Serbian tennis legend, is currently navigating one of the most challenging periods of his illustrious career. At the recent Indian Wells tournament, Djokovic faced a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 defeat against world number 85, Botic van de Zandschulp. This loss marked his third consecutive defeat—a rare occurrence he hasn’t experienced since 2008.

Reflecting on his current form, Djokovic admitted, “I’ve been struggling to play at the desired level.” He attributed part of his performance issues to the varying conditions between different courts, which have impacted his game.

This series of defeats has sparked discussions about Djokovic’s future in professional tennis. At 37, maintaining peak physical condition is increasingly challenging, especially as contemporaries like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have retired. Despite these setbacks, Djokovic remains motivated and is setting his sights on the upcoming Masters 1,000 tournament in Miami, aiming to regain his form and confidence.

The tennis community watches closely as Djokovic confronts these hurdles, hopeful that he can overcome this slump and continue to add to his remarkable legacy.
