Is Deyo's retirement really coming?

After losing to world No. 1 Sinner in three sets in the semifinals of the French Open, the topic of Deyo's retirement has heated up again, this time even more violently than before!

Since last year's four Grand Slams and the lack of success on the tour, the topic of Deyo's retirement has been the focus of many people. As a result, the topic of Deyo's retirement has been focused on a large scale for the first time, which is related to what happened to the Serbian king in Madrid this year!

After suffering a setback in his Monte Carlo debut, many people think that the Serbian king will be strong this time to avoid a tragedy like a round of travel that will happen to him again.

Seeing the first round against Italy's rising star Arnaldi, many people think that there should be no problem for Djokovic to pass smoothly, because in terms of strength, the Italian is no match for the Serbian king at all. Add to that an embarrassing defeat at Monte Carlo, and it should be even harder for Arnaldi to beat Djokovic.

However, the accident still shattered everyone's predictions, and Deyo finally lost.

"I'm not sure if I'm going to come back, so I don't know what to say. I mean I'll be back, but maybe not as a player. Of course I hope it won't be so, but it's a possibility. Of course, the mood of losing is frustrating, but Deyo's mental journey disclosed to the public after the loss made many fans and netizens feel stunned at the same time, and it seems that they have a premonition. This has led to heated discussions about the possibility of Deyo's retirement, and even on the agenda.

This time, after trying his best in the semifinals of the French Open, and finally losing in three sets to Sinner's shooting, Deyo made similar words to Madrid!

"I don't know if I'll be here next year, but if it's really my last French Open match, then it's worth it even if it's not a good result because the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the crowd will stay in my memory forever." Less than a month later, Deyo said such things after the loss, which also made many people think that Deyo is now difficult to compete with Sinner and Alcaraz and other post-00s in terms of competitiveness, and it seems that the motivation has also begun to decline.

A large part of the reason why the outside world is so sensitive to the topic of Djokovic's retirement is probably related to Federer and Nadal.

When the Swiss king retired from the Laver Cup, some people said that he was about to cry because of the cripples in the era of the Big Three; Nadal retired in the Davis Cup, and some said that his heart was broken, and the era of the Big Three is really over.

It is precisely because of this that when Djokovic's remarks after losing in Madrid and Rome were also considered by the outside world to smell the Serbian king's imminent retirement, this sentimental rendering was naturally stronger.

Just imagine, the successive departures of Federer and Nadal have broken many people's hearts, and they have not yet recovered from their sadness, and now Djokovic has sent such a negative signal to everyone, so you can imagine how the outside world will react.

In addition, Deyo once said that he has been able to persist in the tennis world until now, and a large part of the reason is related to the super power brought by the competition between Federer and Nadal, so now after the retirement of these two giants, people have to wonder if Deyo's motivation is not as good as before, and has collapsed with the departure of Federer and Nadal.

The lack of motivation naturally makes it difficult to arouse the incomparable desire for victory in the heart, and some say that this seems to be reflected in Deyo's record at the moment.

One round, so far in the new season, the Serbian king has gone through four times. Lost to Berrettini at the Doha 500; Indian Wells lost to Van der Shanchop; Monte Carlo lost to Tabillo; Madrid was hit hard by Arnaldi.

Although Deyo won the championship in Geneva not long ago and reached the milestone of 100 career championships, in the eyes of some people, this is a 250 championship after all, and there are not many masters, and the gold content cannot be compared with major events.

Therefore, some people bluntly say that if it becomes more and more difficult for Djokovic to win a major tournament like the Masters, and even the best result in a Grand Slam can only be the semi-finals, perhaps the Serbian king will really have to accept his old age and have to face that he has lost his competitiveness. It would make him feel that it was pointless to insist on it, and it would be a wise decision to take a step back. Anyway, I have everything, and without that 25th Grand Slam title, it doesn't affect my status as the best in history at all.

Although many people firmly believe that from the heavy setback of Deyo against Sinner at the French Open, it seems that retirement is inevitable and will come soon, but in the eyes of others, it is too early to talk about Deyo's retirement.

Although Djokovic seemed to give everyone a hint of retirement after losing the French Open, he also stressed that he did not give up on the goal of winning a 25th Grand Slam title: "This is my goal and I hope to achieve it before I retire. ”

In addition, Deyo may also be worried that his words will be overly misinterpreted by the outside world, and he also emphasized one point, "I just said that this may be the last French Open match, not that I will not play next year, if you ask me if I want to play more, the answer is yes." ”

Because of this, it has been emphasized that the idea that Deyo may retire next year is not valid, because the Serbian king still has a big goal to pursue, and the "last time" he said may be a manifestation of discouragement and frustration after losing, just talking, and there is no need to read too much!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
