I don’t think, that you can always – you can ever – get your game to perfection, you know. Only if you’re Federer.
The confidence is there, the game is there, but physically you can’t fight nature sometimes. You can’t do much about it.
Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it’s not the only thing. I’m not going to play forever.
Not everybody can like what I do, and if you feel that somebody is coming up closer to you and starting the rivalry and everything, you maybe change your position to him.
We have a harder way to succeed in life as Serbs because of the past that we had and because of the history we had.
Nobody actually played tennis in my family.
I’m happy, my family’s happy, everything is going well.
I remember as a kid, I was improvising and making little trophies out of different materials and going in front of the mirror, lifting the trophies and saying ‘Nole was the champion!’
Those born into poverty or on the margins of society require our extra support to realize their dreams.
I always try to adjust to the situation.
Even though now I’m pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I’m very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I’m more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.
My nutritionist has done a great job in changing my diet after we established I am allergic to things like gluten – I can’t eat pizza, pasta and bread. I have lost some weight, but my movement is sharper and I feel great.
The history of our country is cruel. We have to face those issues or, should I say, we had to. Not anymore I hope, because we are going in the right direction, and we are ready to forgive, ready to move on.
I got married, going to become father soon, being No. 1 in the sport that I love with all my heart. I mean, it’s pretty awesome.
My strokes just weren’t there.
My father believed in me many times more than I believed in myself.
I have always valued the care for my body, and my mind and had holistic approach to life. I always thought this is utmost importance for my tennis.
What I learned as a young child continues to have a tremendous impact on my life today.
I want to help children in Serbia and around the world so they can realize their dreams.
You have to consistently be successful to be one of the top players in the world, and everything is possible in life.
Everybody believes in something... Most of all, we should believe in ourselves.
