As he acknowledges that he is feeling threatened by the younger players, Novak Djokovic says that one of the factors contributing to his success is his “pure emotion and passion” for the game of tennis. One of the greatest tennis players in history, Djokovic, 35, is still a dominant force in the sport.

Djokovic is still fit, well-prepared, and performing at a high level at the age of 35. “There is not one magic potion or secret to success. It’s various things. I love tennis, I really have this pure emotion and passion for the game.

Everyday I push myself along with my team members to improve and work on things. I probably have to do it more than I ever have because the young guys are there and they pose a different challenge than maybe 10 years ago,” said Djokovic

Djokovic wed Jelena, his longtime love, in 2014. Djokovic has two children with his wife. Djokovic now acknowledges that his family has been crucial to his longevity and success.

“But I really enjoy it, I really enjoy this life of a tennis player. Support of the close people in my life is crucial, my wife, my parents. If I don’t have that, it wouldn’t be possible for me to be emotionally balanced and be able to travel around the world and do what I do best,” Djokovic added.

Djokovic also acknowledged that he has a duty to fulfil for those who purchase tickets to see his matches. “People pay (for) tickets, they come to watch us, they’re tennis fans, they’re enthusiastic about watching us play, but also they want to have a good time.

You can feel responsible as one of the top players to always deliver a good show and bring some good emotions and get involved in that kind of interaction with fans,” Djokovic observed.
