The world number one admitted to the pain of leaving his family behind to compete in tournaments across the globe.

Novak Djokovic, 36, is still the undisputed world number one. Last season, the Serbian won three more Grand Slams and seems to be able to continue playing at this level for some time to come.

However, the record holder for the number of Grand Slam titles won admitted to wondering about the rest of his career. At the microphone of Sportklub, he addressed the subject straightforwardly, mentioning in particular those close to him: “To be honest, I’m the one who’s racking my brains. There’s still that kid in me who loves playing tennis and wants to continue doing it. But on the other hand, I am also the father of two children. Every time I have to leave my family for a long time, it breaks my heart“, he admitted. “That’s why I always say to myself: How much longer do I have to play? How many tournaments do I still have to play? Is it still worth it? »

Despite these questions, and the sacrifices made, the Serb declared having “always hungry“. He is the big favorite to succeed himself at the Australian Open, and could experience a historic season with the Olympic Games in his sights.
