Novak Djokovic opens up on similarities with Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev

The 20-time Grand Slam champion was recently crowned the Champion of Champions by the French newspaper, L’Equipe and gave a lengthy interview talking about his 2021 season. The Serb talked about Medvedev and how their friendship began.

“I like his character gives everyone the image of ‘I am as this’. With his status as a top player, would lose a lot to behave like this sometimes, with sponsors, etc. I love that Daniil is not politically correct, I can identify with him myself – same with Zverev”. 

The Serb also talked about how he likes to learn through his mistakes.

“I’m not perfect, but I’m gonna try to learn from all this. I don’t like it when people present themselves as perfect caretakers”.
