Novak Djokovic, being a legend of tennis, wants to leave a legacy behind that will ‘survive’ as he wants to inspire the younger generation. In an interview, Djokovic reminisced about his childhood, about how he decided to pick up the racket for a tennis career.

The 37-year-old turned pro in 2003 and won his first Grand Slam trophy in 2008 when he lifted the Australian Open. About two decades later, Djokovic surpassed everyone in men’s tennis to stand on top with 24 Grand Slam trophies. Djokovic, not only wants to be remembered as a great athlete but as a ‘good friend’ who used his position to help those in need.

Djokovic added that had he not played tennis, he would never have seen much of the world. He admitted that he missed his country and the place where he spent his childhood because of being always on the move.

Novak Djokovic recalled the time when he fell in love with tennis. It was the Wimbledon final in 1993, which Pete Sampras won, after which he asked his dad to buy him the racket. During his childhood, Djokovic also fell in love with building tennis courts. When there was construction of tennis courts 50 meters away from the Serb’s parents’ restaurant, he would often go there to help the builders.

The Serbian ace is currently in Riyadh for the Six Kings Slam exhibition event. He, along with Rafael Nadal, was given direct entry to the semifinals.

Djokovic and Nadal were defeated by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz respectively, and so on October 19, while the two youngsters will lock horns in the final to bid for $6 million, Djokovic and Nadal will play for the third-place match.

We’ve all been eager to honor Rafa and his stellar career – home to 22 Majors – and weirdly, still in disbelief. No one wants the ‘King of Clay’ gone. On October 10, Rafael Nadal shocked fans, announcing that he would withdraw from the ATP circuit and bid farewell at the Davis Cup Final 8 in Malaga, Spain. The former world-ranking leader couldn’t “play without limitations” after a painful history of injuries and a final blow to the knee in Melbourne in 2023.
