Novak Djokovic's retirement timeline remains fluid following his first-round exit at the 2026 US Open, where the 39-year-old 24-time Grand Slam champion fell in five sets to Mariano Navone amid back and shoulder issues that caused cramping and prompted an emotional on-court reflection about whether he can sustain the physical demands. The world No. 5 has repeatedly stated he feels young enough to compete at a high level for years, with no fixed retirement date and interest in extending his career toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, while prioritizing selective Grand Slam appearances over a full ATP Tour schedule. Recent comments from the Serbian, including potential plans to play into his mid-40s and family considerations around travel, have tempered immediate retirement speculation despite mounting injury concerns and a winless major season since 2023.

To resolve "Yes", the announcement must clearly state that Novak Djokovic is retiring or indefinitely departing from ATP Tour professional tennis with intention of not participating in any event that contributes to an ATP ranking. The announcement must come from Novak Djokovic or official representatives thereof.
Only announcements which are framed as announcing a departure from professional competition intended to be effective within 12 months of the date of the announcement will qualify (e.g., neither "I will leave competition in 2 years," nor "I will not play forever," would qualify).
If Djokovic retires in a qualifying manner but maintains, renews, or announces his intention to participate in the Olympics, that retirement will still qualify. Olympic participation, or participation in a tennis competition which does not contribute to an ATP ranking, will have no bearing on this market.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the named individual or authorized representatives thereof.
