after his semi-final defeat to Jannik Sinner on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Bidding to win a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon title, Djokovic saw his tournament come to a shuddering halt at the hands of the defending champion.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner has not looked at his best so far at the All England Club, but raised his level superbly to crush Djokovic 6-4 6-4 6-4 in just under two and a half hours.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic, who turned 39 just two months ago, still regularly reaches the latter stages of Grand Slams but has not emerged victorious since the 2023 US Open.<\/p>\n<p>But despite that, the Serbian insists he still wants to return to Wimbledon next year, but is unclear what the future holds beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I would like to, at least one more time,&#8217; he said when asked if he will come back next year at age 40. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Let&#8217;s see.&#8217;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"646\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2285546532.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=646\" class=\"article-image wp-image-29106415\" alt=\"The Championships - Wimbledon 2026.\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Djokovic was comfortably beaten by defending champion Jannik Sinner (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Djokovic was typically frank when asked about his performance, rejecting the notion that fatigue was an issue and insisting there was little he could have done against Sinner&#8217;s level of tennis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was a good old blowout,&#8217; he joked. &#8216;Nothing much I could do. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was just half a step late basically in any shot, so\u2026 It&#8217;s very simple as that. He was just a level or more better than I was. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was just not sharp enough, not reactive enough, not balanced enough to play him. That&#8217;s it.

So yeah, it&#8217;s kind of that internal battle really of what I&#8217;ve been through for the 20-plus years of my career, what the goals were always, the expectations, and trying to balance it out and really be a little more humble in that sense. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Of course, I still enjoy the thrill of competition. Tennis has given me everything in my life and has allowed me an opportunity to become who I am. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;At the same time, you know, of course there&#8217;s always a question how far you want to go, what you want to play, how you want to play, et cetera, et cetera. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I go through that process, but I try to take it, in a sense, a day at a time, see how I really feel. I don&#8217;t have any pressure or no one is forcing me to play. I do it because I really want to and because I still can. I still can play as a top-10, top-5 player. Yeah, let&#8217;s see what the future brings.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on <strong>Facebook,\u00a0<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Metro_Sport\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<section id=\"share-buttons-bottom\" class=\"share-buttons share-buttons-bottom\">\n\t\t\t<span><title>Comment now<\/title><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-comments__label\">Comments<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span><title>Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/title><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-preferred-source__label\">Add as preferred source<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
