Nobody actually played tennis in my family.
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.

My mother is a special story. She went through so much to bring us up, four men at home, especially when our country was going through really difficult times.

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.

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

It was very unusual for a boy to play tennis in my country.
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.
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.

I never wanted to change countries it's something that is part of me.
Novak Djokovic
Image
My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I embraced, I think, the process of becoming No. 1 of the world, which was long and difficult, but it's sweeter in the end.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I'm trying to enjoy my lie as much as I can and I know that tennis hopefully is going to be my life the next 10, 15 years.
Novak Djokovic
Image
I'm trying not to pay too much attention to the rankings because calculations can distract you.
