Novak Djokovic is grateful to share some of the biggest moments of his career with his wife and kids on tour. The 21 Major champion expressed why it is important for him to have his family around on tour. Jelena, Stefan and Tara were also with him throughout his victorious Wimbledon campaign earlier this season.
"Extremely special for me. I'm very grateful to my wife and my children for coming. I don't get to have these moments on the tour with them so much, so I of course try to enjoy it as much as I possibly can,” Djokovic said in his post-match press conference after winning the 2022 ATP Finals.
He also highlighted that his family helps him stay cheerful during tournaments, which relieves some of the tensions on tour. Spending time with them after matches keeps him calm and composed while preparing for upcoming matches, allowing him to play his best tennis.
"Of course, they make my life on the tour easier. The pressures, the expectations, the tensions that you normally go through on a big tournament like this, when they're around, it lowers a bit so I can have that time off, quality time with my family, the Serb said.
"That really soothes me and gives me serenity in order to recalibrate and play my best tennis the next day," the nine-time Australian Open champion continued.
