Every time the 36-year-old Serbian tennis player is stuck in a situation during a match, he breaks rackets to vent out his frustration. Recently, in an interview with CBS News, the world’s number-one ranked tennis player made a self-assessment regarding the aggressive acts he often pulls up on the tennis court.

He stated, “Well, look, you know, I, I have broken rackets in my (laugh) life, you know. No doubt about it. And I’m not proud about that. And I’m ashamed of myself when I do that, no doubt. But at the same time, you know, I accept myself as a flawed human being.”

Whether it be the Wimbledon final or any other prestigious event, the Serbian tennis player’s aggressive action has always kept him in the spotlight. Till now, Djokovic has smashed around 56 rackets during his outbursts on the court. Along with that, he also stated that he is not perfect and has flaws just like any other human being.

When Djokovic revealed the smartest way to let go of his frustration

During this year’s ATP Finals, in a match against Holger Rune, the Sergeant Tennis Legend experienced a moment of stress and relieved his frustration by breaking rackets in the match. In a post-match press conference, the 24-time Grand Slam champion talked about how he regrets breaking every racket. But at the same time, for him, it’s a way of venting frustration at the right moment.

He said, “I definitely don’t like that I have done that, but I have done it and that is it and I have to take responsibility. There are different ways, maybe smarter ways to let go of the frustration than breaking a racquet (smiling).” While according to him, breaking rackets was the smartest way to handle frustration, he has always been apologetic for his actions at the same time.
