Many think that Novak Djokovic has ceased to be a tennis player after winning the French Open 2016. Is this the truth? In my opinion absolutely not. The Serbian, despite the troubled period he has been experiencing for almost two years, can still write important pages in the history of tennis and in his career.

But there are some considerations to make. Has he already spent all his energies in his peak years between 2014-2016? He was unstoppable then, but after winning the French Open it's as though he had a black-out. He struggled in the few months he played in 2017, despite winning titles in Doha and Eastbourne.

Now, after trying to make a return after his elbow injury, the 12-time Grand Slam champion is struggling even more. He lost in the fourth round of the Australian Open to Hyeon Chung. In Indian Wells, he was blatantly eliminated in the first round by Taro Daniel.

He lost in the opening round in Miami to Benoit Paire. Djokovic probably gave all of himself to the goal of completing the career Grand Slam. Yet there are two precedents that should help Djokovic focus on regaining his form.

We refer of course to Roger Federer and especially to Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard, despite the passing of years and physical problems, still continues to rewrite tennis history. I am sure that Nole still has a lot to give to the sport and can still collect important results.

The injuries have slowed him down and are still limiting his performances. but, having no points to defend for almost the entire season, Djokovic can still climb in the ranking. But, what do you think? Can Novak Djokovic still be competitive? You can answer this question in the following survey! ALSO READ: Does British tennis only depend on Andy Murray's performances?
