Novak Djokovic talks about his mindset during slams

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic was extremely gracious after he thanked his coaching team and family following his triumph at the recent French Open. Novak admitted that he is very tough to manage during slams, and he even apologized to his coach Goran Ivanisevic for torturing him.

Novak also admitted that all the people around him are very well aware he needs to stay focused during majors.

“I am extremely tiring during Grand Slams, I can be a handful – my team knows it, my wife knows it, my parents know it. They all know that sometimes they need to get out of my way, I radiate this energy that says I want to have time for myself. I am nervous on the court, demanding off the court.

I know myself well, and I know what it takes to win one of these trophies, so I expect others to give the maximum of their abilities for them to stay focused on this mission. That’s why it’s not easy. If it were easy, everybody would do it.

It’s just so much pressure and emotions and expectations from my side personally and from anyone else.”
