Novak Djokovic revealed he does not know if he will return to play at the French Open in 2027, after the 24-time Grand Slam champion was knocked out by 19-year-old Joao Fonseca in the third round on Friday.
Djokovic suffered a 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 defeat to the world No 30, making this the 39-year-old’s worst finish at a Grand Slam since the US Open in 2024.
When asked by a reporter if he would be returning for next year’s tournament the three-time French Open champion responded, saying: “I don’t know.”
Asked whether he would be happy to end his career at the French Open following today’s loss, he replied: “I don’t know.”
“Tough to reflect on this right now, if you all would understand me,” he later added when asked about his legacy at Roland Garros.
“But at the same time, there were a couple of times where I felt like I was barely standing on my legs towards the end of the match, and looking at the crowd and seeing them lift my spirits and support me was something really magical, honestly.
“So when I take out all the disappointment and negative thoughts about the match, you know, there’s a lot to be proud about, what I’ve been through, what I experienced, you know. I’m very grateful for this kind of experience, yeah.”
A reporter also asked Djokovic whether his “mind had begun to think about the rest of the tournament” after world No 1 Jannik Sinner was knocked out by Juan Manuel Cerundolo, while Carlos Alcaraz ruled himself out of the tournament through injury.
The Serbian shut down the question immediately, saying: “I don’t care. I don’t care. I’ll stop you right there. No. Just lost third round. Let’s just talk about something else. Thank you.”
