John Isner thinks we won't be seeing the last of Novak Djokovic in 2025 as the American expects the Serb to continue playing beyond this year.

It is not a secret that apart from winning the Paris Olympics, the record 24-time Grand Slam champion didn't have much success in 2024.
Naturally, that led to some pushing the narrative that the end is near for the current world No. 7.
However, Djokovic hasn't given any indications that his retirement could happen anytime soon.
In late 2024, he even directly told his doubters and critics that he is aware that some would like to see him not return in 2025.
When making those comments, the former world No. 1 cheekily remarked that he had "disappointing news" for them.
But now that he is back for the 2025 season, some are already wondering how will his year and if he will retire at the end of it.
Isner: I think Djokovic wants to keep going and may even play until he is 40
"Ill say no. He said, after he won the gold in Paris that effectively, he wouldnt mind shooting up the Olympics in LA in 2028. So, no," the 2018 Wimbledon semifinalist said on the Nothing Major Podcast.

"You know if his level completely drops off and hes 25 in the world, then okay he might consider that. But no, I think he wants to keep doing ridiculous things and may even play till hes 40.
In May, Djokovic will turn 38 years.
When it comes to his biggest goals, he has already achieved them - he beat out Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the all-time Grand Slam race.
Also, he is the only player in tennis history with over 400 weeks spent at the world No. 1 spot.
Djokovic maybe owns the biggest records but he recently warned his rivals that he is "still hungry for more."
