"Cannot embarrass myself, cannot hit someone in the head" - Novak Djokovic jokes about what motivated his golf practice for the Ryder Cup All-Star game

Italy Ryder Cup

Novak Djokovic recently shared the amusing and unexpected thoughts that crossed his mind when he received an invitation to participate in the Ryder Cup All-Star game in Rome.

The World No. 1 tennis player had a remarkable technique throughout the event. During an interview with the Golf Channel, he admitted to lacking confidence in golf when he received his initial invitation to the All-Star clash.

"When I got an invite, I was like, 'Oh my god. I gotta accept this...' I got a bit prepared. [I thought] 'Cannot embarrass myself, cannot hit someone in the head... because we don't want that. I have no insurance,'" the Serb said jokingly.

During the interaction, the Serb revealed that he has religiously worked on perfecting his swing over the past six months.

"But then I started to ask questions like, 'Who is participating,' and I wanted to know their handicap. And I started to train a bit more, I got lessons, and yeah... when you become a father, you have less time. I haven't played much golf in the last six years. But I increased the amount of golf I've played in the last six months, especially in the last ten days," he added.
