“Given Novak Djokovic’s willpower and fitness, he can be around for a very long time,’ Hantuchova said. “I feel he has so much left in his game. He is so strong physically and mentally I would say at least four or five years. The way the physios do their work and the rehab, the recovery techniques are completely different from what they were 15 years ago so he recovers better. Perhaps it’s really about whether it still fulfills him.”
Novak Djokovic has won 17 Grand Slams and 36 ATP Masters 1000 names, and he’s become the World No. 1 for close to 300 weeks. The 33-year-old continues to chase historic records in men’s tennis, 17 years later he turned professional.
Novak Djokovic has not triumphed at any strategies of retirement yet, and it is a particularly scary proposition for the rest of the tour. And former World No. 5 Daniela Hantuchova, who is presently a tennis pro, believes that the Serb will last to be around for a couple more years.
Novak Djokovic has publicly stated that he’s targeting the album for the most year-end No. 1 endings, and he’s almost ensured a record-equaling sixth such example with his exploits in Vienna. In addition, the Serb is also after the list for most weeks at No. 1 (310 weeks held by Roger Federer) and the most Grand Slams in men’s tennis history (he is currently three Slams behind Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who’ve won 20 each).
ASTONISHING TENNIS.

“Novak Djokovic and Rafael” Nadal have balance life other than tennis: Daniela Hantuchova
“In normal times you go from one week to another, and maybe you are a set and a breakdown – it’s not like you give up but at the back of your mind you think there’s always another week. In this situation, everyone is giving everything and that’s been refreshing to see,” she added.

“I think it has made them really appreciate what they do for a living and how much of a privilege it is. We saw that when the tour came back, players were hungry and that’s why we have seen so many comebacks at places like Roland Garros,” Hantuchova said.
Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have said at various factors that spending some time with friends and family at home in Belgrade and Mallorca respectively helps keep them motivated and refreshed. The two winners are proven to participate in various different tasks when not competing and have their very own charity foundations and academies.

‘They’ve got a great balance in life and they know how to take their focus off tennis,’ Hantuchova said. ‘That’s what makes them so good. But when they come to the court it is all about tennis. And when you win so often, it’s a feeling that you just want to keep repeating.’
Daniela Hantuchova also believes that Novak Djokovic along with also his rival Rafael Nadal has been in a position to extend the longevity of their livelihood because they have a balanced life. Hantuchova explained that both the Spaniard and the Serb do other things when they are not about the excursion, which helps them retain their focus.
