Novak Djokovic, 38, has no plans to quit. The tennis giant is inspired by the 40-year-olds Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James and Tom Brady.

To continue for a long time is something that motivates me the most. I want to see how long I can keep going, says the Serb during the tournament in Saudi Arabia, according to Reuters.

If you look at the sport globally, LeBron James is still ”still going strong”, Ronaldo. And Tom Brady played until he was 40 something. It's incredible, they inspire me.

Basketball giant LeBron James and football star Cristiano Ronaldo are both 40 years old and are still playing at the highest level. NFL star Tom Brady stopped only when he was 45.

Djokovic has not won any grand slam tournament since 2023 (when he won the Australian Open, French Championships and US Open), but was in the semi-final in all four major tournaments this year and he is ranked fifth in the world.
