That is truly important to me. I want to be remembered as someone who always played fair and who always gave his best \u2013 \u0110okovi\u0107 revealed. \u2013 This sport has brought me pride, but humanity and compassion are the values I want to leave behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also recalled stories from his childhood, how much it influenced the development of his character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013When you live in a world that doesn&#8217;t know what tomorrow brings, it&#8217;s not difficult to face a match point for a Grand Slam title. Back then, the fight was for survival. At that time, tennis was not the most important thing, but how we would survive as a family. Despite that, my parents somehow found a way for us to get through it and were a great team. They sacrificed a lot for me to continue building a professional tennis career, and I know they did a lot to protect me. For a long time, they hid a lot from me, while they suffered a lot. They sacrificed a lot for me to become a tennis player and play the sport I love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nole specifically spoke about his mother Dijana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013My father was a man who always knew how to survive. Our mother guided us through life, prepared meals, cooked. And Dad did everything for the family to survive. It was very difficult, but that&#8217;s life. When I look back at all of that now, it is an experience for which I am very grateful. There were, of course, some things that they couldn&#8217;t hide and that were obvious. My mother always had the stability to keep us all together. She is an incredibly strong woman, a true inspiration, because she managed to endure everything alongside four men in a very small apartment, to provide everything for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/bojovic-released-on-bail-the-policeman-arrested-in-chicago-is-awaiting-a-decision-on-deportation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BOJOVI\u0106 RELEASED ON BAIL: The policeman arrested in Chicago is awaiting a decision on deportation!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/dijana-hrkas-condition-is-getting-worse-ambulance-came-twice-citizens-are-applauding-her-and-calling-her-name\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DIJANA HRKA\u2019S CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE: Ambulance came twice, citizens are applauding her and calling her name!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/so-far-150-names-found-zoran-has-been-preserving-the-memory-of-unknown-heroes-from-the-thessaloniki-front-on-kajmakcalan-for-decades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SO FAR 150 NAMES FOUND: Zoran has been preserving the memory of unknown heroes from the Thessaloniki front on Kajmak\u010dalan for decades!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-guardian-on-protests-due-to-the-general-staff-by-adopting-this-law-vucic-wants-to-please-trump-and-gain-favor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE GUARDIAN ON PROTESTS DUE TO THE GENERAL STAFF: \u201cBy adopting this law, Vu\u010di\u0107 wants to please Trump and gain favor\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Source<\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0Sport klub, <strong>Photo: <\/strong>Printscreen X<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many interesting questions were asked to Novak \u0110okovi\u0107 in the interview with Piers Morgan.
