I want to win and I feel that pressure, but my career will not be a disaster if I do not win there. It is a dream to fulfill.
Novak Djokovic
Image
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.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I love being around people who care about me, and I care about them.
Novak Djokovic
Image
We spent all day travelling, living away from the people you love, not sleep in our own bed ... We are far from our own houses. We live in hotels, clubs. And now that I am a father it is much more difficult.

Messi is the best player on the planet and he keeps on improving at Barça, now the best team in the world. What Messi does on and off the pitch is an inspiration for children who dream of becoming a footballer.

I'm a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.

It is very important and my success very much depends on the harmony that I feel in my private life. It is essential for me to be happy in my private life. And if it continues, I am able to continue playing tennis.
Novak Djokovic
Image
It is my goal to win every time I play. But on the other hand, I also seek a balance of compassion and respect for the other players. I understand that everyone goes through difficult times, either mentally or physically, to cope with their life, to live the sport.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of baseball.
Novak Djokovic
Image
In my case, I can sincerely say nothing is impossible.
Novak Djokovic
Image
Obsession is a negative word, I do not think that obsession can bring positive things. Not only in tennis but, I mean in any situation of life.
Novak Djokovic
Image
It gives me goose bumps and little butterflies in the stomach when I start thinking about the 'golden slam.'
Novak Djokovic
Image
Well, I do feel that I carry the responsibility of representing my country wherever I am, and this responsibility came with the success that I had in last couple of years, not just myself but the whole group of tennis players that comes from Serbia. And athletes in general are, in this moment, the biggest ambassadors that our country has.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I am fast and very powerful on the court, so this is what matters.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I had a unique privilege to have a good start in life and a chance to develop my talents.
Novak Djokovic
Image
My success has a lot to do with my private life. I've matured a lot by first becoming a husband and now a father. My life is in the right direction. And that helps a player to thrive. One thing is linked with the other. My private life has helped me.
Novak Djokovic
Image
Mostly the problems when I was down were caused by myself. There were times when I was not responsible enough or decisive enough.
Novak Djokovic
Image
My father believed in me many times more than I believed in myself.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop.
Novak Djokovic

Tennis is my life, obviously I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.
