In an interview, Djokovic reminisced about his childhood, about how he decided to pick up the racket for a tennis career.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s tennis to stand on top with 24 Grand Slam trophies. Djokovic, not only wants to be remembered as a great athlete but as a \u2018good friend\u2019 who used his position to help those in need.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Novak Djokovic\u00a0recalled the time when he fell in love with tennis. It was the Wimbledon final in 1993, which\u00a0<strong>Pete Sampras<\/strong>\u00a0won, 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\u2019s parents\u2019 restaurant, he would often go there to help the builders.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Novak-Djokovic-Shanghai-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic wants to be remembered as a great athlete and a good human being for his work..\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><figcaption>Novak Djokovic at a press conference (Image via ATP Tour)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Serbian ace is currently in Riyadh for the Six Kings Slam exhibition event.
