Players walk into the world of tennis as amateurs, emerge as rising stars, and end up as legends to wave goodbye. Following the same cycle of a limited lifespan, the majority of the players leave their marks in the world of tennis. In a world where exceptions are always a possibility, Novak Djokovic stands strong with his undiminished will to keep enjoying the competitive sport.

Tennis witnesses either the retirement of many of its great players or the gradually declining performance graph of others. But there’s one name that continues to stand unbothered on the court. Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis icon, is showing no signs of slowing down, and his secret to staying at the top may not be what you think. In a recent revelation, the 36-year-old told the fans that it’s not just about Grand Slam glory but something deeper that keeps him going.

Novak Djokovic reveals his unexpected point of motivation

While many of his strongest competitors have gracefully exited the world of professional tennis, the World No.1 stands resolute. Competing at the highest level with the same stamina and enthusiasm that marked the initial days of his career, the Serbian sensation no doubt defies his age. As people always carry intrigue to discover the motivation behind this dedicated approach towards the sport, Djokovic, being generous enough, revealed his secret.

In a recent interview, Djokovic opened up about what keeps his competitive fire burning. Indulging in a conversation about his goals and motivations, he mentioned, “My greatest motivation is still love for the game. I really like competing, so as simple as that.” Sticking up to one of the most awaited revelations from his professional career, the 36-year-old also forwarded a piece of advice about that on which he has built his entire professional career. He believes, “Its important to have clarity you know, to have goals and ambitions and move towards them.”
