More quotes by Novak Djokovic

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.

Image
I physically feel very fit. I’m very motivated to keep on playing on a very high level. I’m going to try to use these years in front of me to fight for the number one of the world and fight for the biggest titles.

When the last point is done, we are humans. Give your opponent a hug and say, ‘great fight,’ and that’s all.

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.

The confidence is there, the game is there, but physically you can't fight nature sometimes. You can't do much about it.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I've had my ups and downs in my private life.
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

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
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
In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it's a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I lost to a better player who played some courageous tennis and deserved to win.
Novak Djokovic
Image
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.

Imagine a part of the U.S.A., from which the U.S.A. started - where is the cradle of your history? This is Kosovo for Serbia.
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

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