Novak is also proud to admit that he is not a full-time tennis player. “When I go back home, I’m not a tennis player anymore. I’m a father and a husband.”
He stressed the balance that parenthood and marriage bring in his life. He feels that his game has gotten better after he took on these responsibilities. “That’s a kind of balance that I think allows me to play this well. Ever since I got married and became a father, I haven’t lost many matches, I won many tournaments,” Djokovic acknowledged.
