“I value this profession and take it seriously, as do many other players. We, the players, expect the utmost dedication and participation from our team members, just as they expect the best from us. The intensity is there. In the heat of the game, obviously you can do different things on the field,” he began his response.
And I added: “Overall, we are a united team through good times and bad. I am thankful that I have a team.. “We’ve had tremendous success over the past few years.”
About how he sees himself in his intimate core, he laughingly admits: “I’m a poor gamer…but who isn’t? I don’t know a player of the highest level who is calm and everything is flowers and music“.
Furthermore, He stressed that “it has to be a challenge for everyone, for the players and for the coaching staff, otherwise there will be no growth.”. “I think that’s the way to push each other to the limit and really understand how the game can develop, how you can improve on and off the court.”
About his private life and balance with the highest level of competition, he said: “I’m a father of two children, there’s a lot going on outside the court which is obviously part of my life and affecting my mental and emotional state in one way or another. I need to figure out how to handle all these things and create a formula that works. So far, everything is fine.”
The one from Belgrade, at the age of 36, will once again be No. 1 in the world this coming Monday, September 11 whatever happens in the tournament. In the semifinals he will face Ben Shelton, a 20-year-old American who, with 249MPH, set the record for the fastest serve at this edition of the US Open.
