That happens to me more often than ever now, but regardless, the respect is always there. I never underestimate anyone. He has a big serve, lacks experience, but he has the game to climb high on the ATP rankings.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During the match, Novak also pulled off a behind-the-back shot, which was shown on the screen during the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Novak Djokovic: \u201cWhen I became a father, one of my greatest wishes was for my kids to grow old enough to understand what their daddy is doing.

I worked a lot on this during preparations, I\u2019m glad it worked. I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t embarrass myself, it went over the net, but there are many players who do it better than me \u2014 that and the between-the-legs shot. The last time I tried a between-the-legs shot, I almost injured myself.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Djokovic was asked whether he knew if his children, Stefan and Tara, had watched the match:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cNo, no, absolutely not. They\u2019re sleeping now. They have much more important priorities like school and homework. I\u2019ve never had greater support from my wife and children, aside from my parents and brothers. I\u2019ve always wanted my children to grow up enough to see what dad does, and I was honored that they watched me over the past five or six years. Now everything is about them, about their tasks and responsibilities. My son wanted to come \u2014 he wants to do anything to avoid school, which is understandable. He loves tennis, but he also loves his dad. The fact that they\u2019re not here this year is a bit different, but they are always in my heart.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nole was also asked whether he had visited the Botanical Garden, where he had previously been photographed next to a very old tree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cThat\u2019s my oldest friend in Melbourne. It was always there to heal my wounds\u2026 to keep me company when I didn\u2019t want any other. It\u2019s a beautiful bond. Nature is such a powerful ally that we sometimes forget in the fast pace of life. Melbourne is a great city, but my absolute favorite place is the botanical garden. It\u2019s a Brazilian tree \u2014 we\u2019ve had a friendship for more than 20 years,\u201d Djokovic concluded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\/rainy-serbs-from-north-america-they-raised-a-church-from-the-ashes-and-now-americans-are-converting-to-orthodoxy-with-them-and-they-still-make-the-best-cevapi-in-the-world-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">RAINY SERBS FROM NORTH AMERICA: They raised a church from the ashes, and now Americans are converting to Orthodoxy with them!
