During his appearance at a press conference after his sluggish but successful entry into the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, Novak Djokovic was asked about his busy schedule and the advice he would give to an ordinary person. And the Serbian player delivered a response full of honesty. Excerpts.
Question : “From Beijing to Shanghai, we saw you in some sponsor activities, and you interacted with many fans. Of course, you had to practice and win a match. Do you have any advice for ordinary people to live an energetic life with such a busy schedule? »
“It’s difficult to compare, but what works for one may not work for another. I try to balance things and I may seem like I live a perfectly balanced life, but believe me, I don’t. I’m trying to make the most of it and learn, be the best father and husband I can, while being a tennis player, and of course a son and a brother. I miss my family when I’m traveling, but at the same time I love tennis, I really do, and I have the support of my loved ones to continue playing. So, yes, it’s a constant challenge, in a way, to really embrace the present and evolve and grow and learn from the experiences that you have the opportunity to have on a daily basis. I have been very lucky in my life to experience everything I have experienced, to have all these successes. And I am very grateful to God for giving me this chance. So I try to remind myself sometimes when I’m going through tough times, like everyone else, I have tough days, but you have to remember what matters most, the connections, the relationships with people , and try to be the best version possible every day. I think that’s kind of the formula. »
