John McEnroe reacts to Novak Djokovic retirement claim in typical fashion

John McEnroe, who won seven Grand Slam titles during his glittering career before becoming an analyst, reacted to the news that a fellow great may be stepping back

John McEnroe has sounded off on speculation that Novak Djokovic may retire soon — and he thinks "the LeBron James of tennis" still has plenty of gas in the tank.

In quotes first recorded by Italian publication Corriere della Sera, McEnroe, who won seven singles Grand Slam titles himself, claimed that although Djokovic was getting older, he still held several advantages over two of his up-and-coming opponents.

He said: "It’s impossible not to admire him. I consider him the Lebron James of tennis. Due to his age, he struggles more and more to keep up with Carlos (Alcaraz) and Jannik’s pace, but he remains a prodigy, someone science should study.

“Why should he retire if he continues to be so competitive? He is still the best competitor against the top two, and he has two major advantages: his experience and the ability to recover from tough moments.”

德约科维奇最现实的目标至少包括：把每一个大满贯胜场数搞到100。
目前：
法网101胜
温网97胜
美网90胜
澳网99胜
所以最快的退休也是明年的美网后，否则就是2027年的美网退役。

虽然说以后大满贯的决赛主旋律是卡辛决，但这二人总有生病受伤掉链子的时候，德约科维奇要做的是像司马懿一样耐心的等待，鹰视狼顾，伺机而动！

很难的。今年输了多少路人甲了？
其他的赛事可能是没完全投入，Miami 决赛被19 岁小孩打的没脾气。再过一两年只会越来越难。

这两年，多参加一些从来没有参加过的250赛事，比如说成都公开赛，
Winston Salem 等等。世界各地到处看看顺便超过费德勒的103个ATP冠军数，甚至吉米康纳斯的109。
我说的头两条，德约科维奇肯定也是这么想的，不知道最后这一条他愿不愿意做。

肯定很难，但现在不是要稳赢谁，而是保持一颗冲击的心态。
今年的澳网打败了阿卡进入四强，法网击紫薇进入四强。接下来的温网，我们拭目以待。不出意外至少也会进入四强，除非提前遇到卡、辛。这样的状态，加上必要的运气肯定是冠军的搅局者，有啥理由退休呢？

老德加油，坚持就是胜利！

不是新冠耽误话他可能已经25大满贯了

老德加油，坚持就是胜利！

现在药王，阿卡分占一二名，各守一个半区，似乎德约机会不大。但是药也是要从人体吸取精华才能超常人发挥，对身体的伤害也是有的，他这个状态能不能再维持一年很难说，而且会不会受伤也很难说。

年纪大了身体不行就别坚持，麦肯罗瞎评论啥，这种事他自己不知道么
身体说不能打了，那就是不能打了，你再撑只能是受伤退出，自找难看。
