More quotes by Novak Djokovic
I got married, going to become father soon, being No. 1 in the sport that I love with all my heart. I mean, it's pretty awesome.
Novak Djokovic
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
Nobody actually played tennis in my family.
Novak Djokovic
Tennis players we're always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you - it's like you're a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering - and you're fighting, you're screaming, during your strokes - it feels like you're an animal, fighting for your life.
Novak Djokovic
I am fast and very powerful on the court, so this is what matters.
Novak Djokovic
My father believed in me many times more than I believed in myself.
Novak Djokovic
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
It gives me goose bumps and little butterflies in the stomach when I start thinking about the 'golden slam.'
Novak Djokovic
When the last point is done, we are humans. Give your opponent a hug and say, ‘great fight,’ and that’s all.
Novak Djokovic
The fact that nobody played tennis in my family and you'd say by chance they make three tennis courts in front of the restaurant that my family owned when I was 4, I think that's a destiny. That's kind of life circumstances that kind of come together for you to become who you want to become.
Novak Djokovic
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
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
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
My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.
Novak Djokovic
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.
Novak Djokovic
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.
Novak Djokovic
Mangling my racket and an odd swearword on the court is not something I am proud of and it shouldn't happen, but even my coaches have told me that it's sometimes better to let it all out, the anger inside you, because keeping it bottled would just eat you up in the long term.
Novak Djokovic
I had to listen to the classical music because it calms me down, calms my nerves down.
Novak Djokovic
My priority, the most important thing in my life is my family, my wife and my son.
Novak Djokovic
I think if you do not enjoy your time, your life, if you do not live intensely and do not spend time with your family, in one way or another it will be reflected in your career.
Novak Djokovic
