Novak Djokovic on Wimbledon loss, retirement talk and property empire

Novak Djokovic explained that his semifinal defeat to Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon 2026 was largely due to lingering fatigue after a five‑hour quarter‑final against Felix Auger‑Aliassime, saying “my body reacts differently now, it’s pure biology.” He added that, despite the loss, he still feels capable of competing at the highest level but acknowledges that the moment to end his career is “closer than ever.” Djokovic confirmed he will target the US Open later this summer, noting that his biggest opponent will be himself and that the tournament remains “the most exciting and entertaining Grand Slam.” In a CBS Mornings interview he also recounted giving Sinner detailed advice early in his career, joking that the guidance may have helped the Italian win “every year” after. Outside the court, Djokovic’s net worth is estimated at $250‑300 million, with a portfolio that includes an apartment in Monaco, two luxury apartments in Manhattan’s SoHo, a penthouse in Miami (now sold), and high‑value properties in Belgrade. He stresses that investing his earnings is part of securing his family’s future.
