Even legends have to face the music eventually. For Novak Djokovic, that music sounds a lot like the grunts and squeaks of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner zipping past him on the court.

In a move that feels straight out of a sci-fi movie, Djokovic has revealed he’s using some seriously futuristic tech to “rebuild his body.” Speaking to Sky Sports at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix, he dropped some racing terminology that builds hype for the 2026 tennis season. Djokovic said on Sky Sports:

I’m taking a short break and trying to reconstruct my machine. I’ve been getting injured more often than not in the last 18 months, so I’m trying to rebuild my body so the start of the next season will be great and, hopefully, I can keep it up with the best guys.

At 38, the Serbian titan is finding out that Father Time is a tougher opponent than any fresh-faced youngster on the ATP Tour. But if one thinks Djokovic is just going to hang up his racket and fade away, one clearly hasn’t been paying attention for the last two decades.

It’s a surprisingly candid admission from a player who has spent his career being an unbreakable force. But 2025 has been a humbling year for the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

Can a Magic Pod help Novak Djokovic compete?

So, what’s this secret weapon? A recovery pod called Regenesis, which sounds like something you’d find on the Starship Enterprise. Novak Djokovic, who co-founded the company, describes it as a “multi-sensory wellness capsule pod that resets your batteries in the shortest amount of time.”

It’s no wonder he’s turning to futuristic gadgets. This season, Djokovic’s body has been sending him some pretty clear signals.

A hamstring tear forced him to retire at the Australian Open, and he looked physically spent against Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz in the later stages of Wimbledon and the US Open. It’s one thing to be outplayed; it’s another to be outlasted.

Novak Djokovic on the brutal reality of facing the Next Gen

Novak Djokovic didn’t mince words when talking about his new rivals. His losses to Alcaraz and Sinner at the Slams have clearly stung. Djokovic said after his US Open exit:

I lost three out of four Slams in semis against these guys, so they’re just too good, playing on a really high level. Unfortunately, I ran out of gas after the second set.

It’s a tough pill to swallow for a star who has dominated the sport for so long. For years, the question was who could possibly challenge the “Big Three.” Now, it seems Djokovic is the last man standing, fighting a two-front war against a couple of kids who probably had posters of him on their bedroom walls. The irony is thicker than the tension in a fifth-set tiebreak.

While he ended 2025 as the World No. 4, a fantastic achievement for anyone not named Novak Djokovic, it’s clear that just being “one of the best” isn’t enough. He’s gunning for a huge 2026, and he’s banking on his “reconstructed machine” to get him there.

Will the Regenesis pod be his ticket to a 25th Grand Slam, or is it just a fancy nap pod for a guy who’s finally feeling his age? Either way, one can bet the entire tennis world will be watching.
