Novak Djokovic said yesterday he planned to keep playing for “years to come” -- with more tournaments on his schedule in 2025 -- as he looks to take down the new guard led by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alzaraz.

The 37-year-old had a disappointing campaign last year by his standards, failing to win a Grand Slam and claiming just one title -- Olympic gold in Paris.

He has slipped to number seven in the world and said he wanted to get his ranking back to “where it should be”.

“I’m looking for a good start to the season, I’m looking for more consistency across all the tournaments,” he said as he prepared to play at the Brisbane International this week.

“I’m looking to play more tournaments this year than I played last season, so hopefully also my level is going to go up.
