Novak Djokovic gets brutal reality check as Iga Swiatek breaks down in tears

Martina Navratilova has suggested that Novak Djokovic’s age is catching up with him after his early US Open exit.

She said: “Father Time will catch up to him and maybe it already is a little bit, because he really wasn’t himself in that last match.

“It depends how much the fire is still burning. If it’s still burning, I’m never going to say ‘you shouldn’t play’, because he’s never going to tarnish his legacy, it’s ridiculously good.

“I’m sure his wife is saying: ‘It’s time to hang it up, how many more of these do you need?’.

“Maybe just one more but, then again, if he wins the Australian Open, he’s going to want to play Roland Garros and Wimbledon, right? He’s not going to quit then.

It’s up to him. Either way, you can’t criticise because what a fantastic career. I would probably hang it up but if he loves it, why not?”
