Novak Djokovic continues to navigate a complex period marked by both professional uncertainty and personal upheaval. The 38-year-old Serbian tennis legend has made several significant moves in recent days that paint a picture of a player reassessing his priorities and his relationship with his homeland.

Most notably, Djokovic withdrew from the Paris Masters without providing explicit reasons, citing the need to address physical issues with his body. This decision came shortly after he retired midway through his match against Taylor Fritz at the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The withdrawals suggest he is being selective about which tournaments to play as he manages what he describes as running out of gas in latter stages of competition. Despite these challenges, he has already qualified for the ATP World Tour Finals in Turin and remains focused on pursuing his 25th Grand Slam title, with the Australian Open in January appearing to be his primary target.

On the personal front, Djokovic has relocated his family to Greece, reportedly moving his base to Athens after facing a media smear campaign in Serbia. His children are now enrolled at St. Lawrence College, a private British school in the Greek capital. This relocation appears connected to his public support for protests against Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, particularly following the tragic collapse of a railway station roof in Novi Sad that killed 16 people.

The move has created tension back home. A mural depicting Djokovic in Belgrade was recently defaced and painted black. The artist who created the original mural, known as The Pianist, shared images on Instagram of the vandalism and suggested retaliation would follow. The mural had featured Djokovic making his iconic Pump It Up gesture from Wimbledon, which many interpreted as a message of solidarity with Serbian protesters.

Meanwhile, Djokovic has received public support from fellow tennis legend Stan Wawrinka. When the 40-year-old Swiss star shared an Instagram post about passion and continuing to compete despite age and declining rankings, Djokovic reposted it on his story with the simple message Stan The Man, demonstrating continued respect between the two fierce rivals.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion's 2025 season has been described as underwhelming by his standards, with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dividing the four major titles between themselves, though Djokovic remarkably reached the semifinals at each one.
