Novak Djokovic has staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in tennis history.
Earlier this year, the Serbian sensation looked to be completely broken: he was partnering with a team that wasn’t the best for him, he had an operation, and later he couldn’t find a way to get back to a “decent” tennis level.
However, the “Serbinator” managed to fix everything also after rehiring his “historical” coaching team. All of a sudden, Novak found again happiness and the will to compete at his incredible levels to win Wimbledon, Cincinnati, the US Open, and Shanghai. Djokovic is also extremely close to ending the year as the world no.1.
When Djokovic thought about retirement
During a recent talk with TV show Da Mozda Ne, Nole commented
“This year, in the first months after surgery I passed through emotions and thoughts that were not the brightest.
I also said that I would no longer play tennis, people were shocked. At those moments I was not sure what I was talking about. The worst is when there’s a doubt about the belief that I can do it.
I am not ashamed of such moments. One part of me knew that there would be a moment to make a success, for a Grand Slam and to be number one in the world
In April this year I sat with the trainers, I developed a strategy. In that plan, I wanted my form to return by the US Open. But the highlight came early on the grass, I played Queen’s final.”
Djokovic will be back on competitions from next week when he will play the last Master ATP1000 of the season in Bercy.
