Djokovic offered something of a mix of seemingly trying to quiet any talk about whether he truly is pondering retirement at age 38 while also being realistic about where things stand.

With his first match of 2025 Wimbledon scheduled next week, Djokovic spoke to reporters on Saturday and admitted that of all the Grand Slams, Wimbledon represents his best chance to capture his increasingly elusive 25th title.

Djokovic has not played a match that counted since the semifinal loss to Sinner in the French Open. He showed fight against the world's top-ranked player, but ran out of gas during his fourth-straight loss to the 23-year-old phenom.
