Saying goodbye is never easy, and the departure of the greatest tennis player of all time is already causing unease among fans. Novak Djokovic is the last stronghold of the Big 3, or the Big 4 if you prefer, and he faces 2025 having already won everything that could be won. Andrea Petkovic has an interesting vision of how the Serbian should put an end to his professional career.

It is inevitable to think about when and in what context Novak Djokovic will retire from professional tennis. It is essential to enjoy every moment the Balkan player can offer on a tennis court because we are close to the fateful moment when he says goodbye. Many believe that the chances of him continuing to compete with full motivation and feeling he can win another Grand Slam title depend on what happens at the 2025 Australian Open. In this regard, Andrea Petkovic expressed herself in a podcast whose words are reported by tennis365.

- Petkovic believes Djokovic will only care about the Australian Open and Wimbledon

"My prediction for 2025 regarding Novak is that he will not care about any tournament, except the Australian Open and Wimbledon. He will make a great physical and mental effort to win one of the two and add his 25th Grand Slam title. Once he does that, he will leave the circuit," she said before highlighting the greatness of the Serbian in Melbourne. "He has won there 10 times, which is amazing, so I believe he has a chance to do it once more," she emphasized.

The boldest idea that Andrea Petkovic addresses is how Novak Djokovic should retire. More and more people think that a player like him deserves to bid farewell while still at the top, something very unusual. Therefore, the German suggests that Nole should announce his retirement as soon as he adds another Grand Slam title, if he achieves it. "I'm not joking. If Djokovic wins the 2025 Australian Open, he should retire," she concluded.
