In a press conference at the Masters 1000 ATP Paris Bercy, Novak Djokovic underlined the enormous importance of his family at this stage of his career, also dwelling on a question relating to a possible career for his son.
Djokovic said: “My family is my biggest source of motivation. I’m delighted when my son Stefan watches me play in a tournament or asks me to make two exchanges. It’s a very special feeling.
I am very interested in what he says. However, I don’t pressure him. It is important to me that he sees tennis as fun, a sport that can help him grow physically and mentally.
It’s still too early to talk about his career or anything. Don’t ask me, he’s only 8 years old. It is definitely too early.” Nole’s lawyers are in contact with the Australian authorities in view of the next edition of the Australian Open.
Renowned journalist Jon Wertheim said: “Everything should be done to avoid a repeat of what happened at the start of the year.
I hope that Djokovic will receive an answer in the coming weeks and that he will have this story.”
Novak Djokovic at Paris-Bercy:
Novak Djokovic is looking for his fifth title of the season, which could happen this week at Paris-Bercy.
The former world number 1 dominated the formidable Maxime Cressy on his debut, making the difference in the decisive moments of the match and then reaching the semi-finals after the dominating victory over Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals.
The Serbian champion wants to end a rather troubled year in style, in particular thanks to his choice not to be vaccinated against the Coronavirus. Novak was forced to miss two Grand Slam tournaments, the Australian Open and the US Open, and suffered serious damage to his image.
As if that were not enough, the 35-year-old Belgrader also had to give up all the American Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Montreal and Cincinnati). Nole lifted his 2022 year by triumphing at Wimbledon for the seventh time in his career, the fourth in a row.
In addition to having equaled his idol Pete Sampras, Novak Djokovic has come within a length of Rafael Nadal in the historic Major rankings.
