Djokovic lost the first round of the Qatar Open due to his form and fitness

The year 2025 hasn't begun well with the experienced player of Serbia, Novak Djokovic. He had to withdraw at the midway point of the tournament due to injury at the year's first Grand Slam Australian Open. In the meantime, the 37-year-old player from Serbia is also dealing with the first-round loss of the Qatar Open. Nothing seems to go well with either the physical fitness of Djokovic or his current performance, so speculations have started about the proximity of the 37-year-old player of Serbia to the end of his career.

World number seven player Djokovic had to face defeat in the first round of the Qatar Open being played here. Djokovic, the third seed in the tournament, was defeated by unseeded Italian player Matteo Berrettini 7-6, 6-2. Berrettini has defeated Djokovic for the first time in his career. At the same time, this is his first win against a top-10 player after 2023.

Djokovic's poor form is such that he has not been able to win any Grand Slam since 2023. He holds the record of winning the maximum 24 men's Grand Slams. At the same time, in the women's category, Margaret Court has also won 24 Grand Slams. In such a situation, Novak has to win a Grand Slam to leave Margaret behind but he is not able to do so.
