World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has become one of the most complete athletes in recent times. The manner in which he commands himself on the court and off the court is commendable. He not only competes for himself but takes it upon himself to help his nation win titles.

At the moment, Djokovic is representing Serbia at the Davis Cup 2021. He won his opening match with ease. The Serb cruised over Dennis Novak from Austria in straight sets. After the match, the World No. 1 player spoke about the importance and honor of representing his country on these grand stages like the Davis Cup.
