In the press conference, the Serb analyzed: “Every time I go out on the court, especially in a Grand Slam tournament and on Wimbledon Center Court, I feel tremendous pressure.I always have high expectations of myself.
It’s a feeling I’m used to by now, and it gives me further motivation to make history even more. I don’t think things will ever change. No matter how many Grand Slams I win, I still want to achieve new results and experience my journey.
I feel young. My kids always remind me of this.The innocence, love and energy I feel when I am with them strengthens the inner child that lives in me. I think it’s also important that he’s still playing the sport that I always loved as a kid.My body responds differently, but I’m lucky.
After 20 years of playing professional tennis, I’m still able to compete at the highest level. I thank God and my parents, for the genes. The commitment I put into what I do every day, together with the work of my team, give me the opportunity to be healthy.”
