Mats Wilander, described her performance as “absolute perfection”. How do you rate this?
Novak Djokovic : at the Very top. Under these circumstances, in such an important Match against this opponent, it is amazing. I made in two consecutive Games, in the semi-final and in the Final, 15 unforced errors. This is a nice Surprise for me, although I visualize me to play. Under these circumstances, it really was a perfect game.
you have with the 15. Grand Slam titles Pete Sampras obsolete. What does it mean to you to have your youth idol become obsolete?
He is definitely one to which I look. One of my earliest images from the Tennis is like Sampras in 1993, won for the first time in Wimbledon. I was a little Boy in Kopaonik, this mountain resort in the South of Serbia. I had no Tennis Tradition in my family. There is something fateful has sure I set myself the goal to be as good as Pete. That I have surpassed him now to Grand Slam titles, makes me speechless.
you have won the last three Grand Slam tournament, and some think they could achieve the 20 titles of Federer. What do you mean?
I am aware that there is something really Special to write in the Sport I love, history. Of course this is a Motivation. I want to focus on to improve my game and maintain my mental, physical and emotional health, in order to have a Chance to get closer to Rogers record. But this is still a long way off.
If a year ago someone would have said that they would now sit with three Grand Slam titles in a row here, what would you have said?
Not impossible, but very unlikely. I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I always believe in me. This is perhaps my biggest secret to success. I knew how the Operation would my game change. The whole process was very specifically designed to be an educational experience. I wouldn’t want to change. But, Yes, twelve months ago, it was very unlikely that I would be here right now. I have to be always aware and understand that this is a blessing.
“I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I always believe in me.”Novak Djokovic
you Are to become in the course of their career hungry?
I was always hungry for success. Otherwise I would not play at this level. It’s not just about success, Tennis is a school of life. The tennis court is a place where I’m naked, where I am all Extremes of my character and my emotions exposed. This is the place where I can be most myself to learn.
you now Hold the calendar Grand Slam is possible?
We will see. It is only the beginning of the season. I must place on my sand game, even more work. I have to play better than last season. The ultimate challenge in Paris is to win against Nadal. Then there are Zverev and Thiem, and Roger (Federer) will probably play again. There are a lot of great players to me or others on the Sand.
you seem to have the puzzle Nadal tactically solved. What will it take?
I don’t want to tell you that I have solved the riddle of Nadal, which could backfire later. I may have found the solution for this game, but not for the whole life. We still have a lot of great Matches on various surfaces. I’m looking forward to it. The rivalry with him is the most important for me, it has shaped me personally and professionally in my life the most. We will both try to improve until next Time.
