Novak Djokovic is reportedly planning to leave his £8.5million mansion in Marbella for a new home in Greece when he retires from tennis, as the tennis legend prepares to play at Wimbledon.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner is currently preparing for the start of the prestigious tournament, which will commence on June 30.
Djokovic, at the age of 38, is in the twilight years of his career.
His rivals Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal have already swapped the tennis court for retirement, leaving the Serb as the last man of the 'Big Four' still standing.

According to Greek outlet Protothema.gr, Djokovic has decided to move to Greece when he eventually hangs up his racket.
It's claimed that the tennis legend recently lunched with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has apparently agreed to grant him a 'Golden Visa' that grants him five years of residence in the country.
That means Djokovic will be leaving his luxury £8.5m mansion behind, with the veteran currently residing there with wife Jelena and their two children.
Djokovic and his family lived in the Marbella house during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. It contains nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a game room, spa and tennis court as well.

The former world No 1 has reportedly chosen Greece over Serbia after previously becoming embroiled in a political row with the Serbian government.
He previously took aim at the regime of Aleksandar Vucic amid student protests in the country.
Meanwhile, as Wimbledon rapidly approaches, it will be fascinating to see how Djokovic fares.
He performed well enough at the recent French Open, making the semi-finals before falling to eventual runner-up Jannik Sinner.

Djokovic has won seven titles at Wimbledon throughout his career, with his first triumph coming back in 2011.
He has reached the last two finals there, only to lose to Carlos Alcaraz on both occasions.
Speaking recently, Djokovic opened up on retirement - and suggested he'd keep playing until 2028 so he can defend the Olympic gold medal secured at Paris last year.
The 38-year-old said: “The only thing on my mind right now, and the only thing that motivates me, is the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

“And it’s interesting when we talk about these achievements and the Olympics that stand out and redemption, the only thing that I have in my head, which gives me motivation, is the Olympics of 2028 in Los Angeles.
"And playing for the national team and Grand Slams. But not even the Grand Slams, not as much as the Olympics."
On why he's still playing, he added: “Above all, for me, it’s love and passion for the sport.
“I love tennis, and I still love picking up a racket. The kid in me who fell in love with tennis is still there; I still feel that connection.
