  • A prominent American said Novak Djokovic appears to be struggling with an acute illness rather than simply declining at age 39.
  • The comments argued that Djokovic is not currently playing at his best, while cautioning against concluding that his career is over.

A prominent American believes Novak Djokovic’s struggles look less like the inevitable decline of a 39-year-old player and more like an illness that he has not been able to overcome.

“This is not the best version of Novak, we know that,” the American said. “At 39, we cannot expect him to be as good as in previous years.”

But the assessment stopped short of declaring Djokovic finished. The player appears to be battling an acute illness, the speaker said, and that could explain his current form better than age alone.

This is not the best version of Novak, we know that. At 39, we cannot expect him to be as good as in previous years. But it seems to me that he is battling some acute illness he cannot fully overcome. To me, this looks more like he is fighting some kind of illness than simply being finished at 39.
