Novak Djokovic has given his honest opinion on his desire to continue playing tennis after making his return to the court for the 2025 Miami Open.

Organisers of the US Open tennis championship last year sold more than 500,000 of their signature cocktail, “Honey Deuce”. At $23 per glass, the drink grossed $13mn. By contrast, the men’s and women’s champions of the New York City event took home combined prize money of just $7mn.

Novak Djokovic doesn’t want the antitrust lawsuit filed by the players’ association he co-founded to create a rift in tennis, but he also said Thursday that the athletes’ share of revenues and their influence both need to increase.
