Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.

Nobody actually played tennis in my family.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I am fast and very powerful on the court, so this is what matters.
Novak Djokovic

People look up to me as somebody who is able to switch the image of our country from negative to positive.
Novak Djokovic

Image
Not everybody can like what I do, and if you feel that somebody is coming up closer to you and starting the rivalry and everything, you maybe change your position to him.
Novak Djokovic
Image
You can not say you're unhappy because you have to travel, have to play this tournament, having to play sports ... You can't because you chose to play it and you love it. I'm tremendously grateful for the support I have received from my family and the close ones.
