“I mean, this could have been the last game I played here, so I don’t know. That’s why I was a little more emotional even at the end,” he said.

“But if this was the farewell match of the Roland-Garros for me in my career, it was wonderful in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd.”

Of the “three great”, Djokovic only remains active and dominant.

Djokovic said he plans to compete in Wimbledon. Last year he marked the first time in seven years, the Serbian tennis pro could not win a Grand Slam. His last victory arrived in 2023 at the US Open. His last victory in Wimbledon was in 2022.
