Transcripts
there's no athlete quite like Novak
jovic determined resilient with a laser
focus on Victory the Serbian is
considered by many to be the greatest
male tennis player of all time but
beneath the 24 Grand Slam titles and the
countless controversies there's a family
man who's lived through war and come out
the other side with a unbreakable spirit
I sat down with him before his defeat at
the Australian Open how you feeling
great yeah what does this city mean to
you it means a lot to me obviously every
every time I I step out on the rod labor
Arena you know I kind of relieve the
memories of the previous years and and
everything that I've been through so uh
I enjoy it I feel like you've seen the
best of times here the worst of times
and the best of times again is that I
wanted to say I wanted to say I've
enjoyed myself every single year except
one year what what happened that a short
that was a short state but you know I
haven't seen much of the city if I can
say so left it all behind as it's it's
one of the experiences that I definitely
won't forget uh the experiences that
have left uh you know a very strong Mark
in in in my life how much of your
upbringing um has shaped you we we've
been through two Wars embargo for 4
years from ' 92 to 96 no Serbian athlete
could travel abroad for any for
competitions you know to compete
internationally so it it was very
challenging times it it just uh toughens
you up it could have easily gone a
different way uh but I I believe that it
was a kind of a destiny as well uh for
me to to play tennis and to be able to
achieve this these great things you know
I I I watch you play and Jim and and
John mroe they're all like man what's
going on inside that guy's head you know
he's going to flick the switch and it's
like you go into beast mode is part of
that you on the court Rel related to all
those experiences yeah it could be it
could be uh I I don't know to what
extent but there is definitely some
connection to and link to to my
upbringing and I was 12 when we had
bombings for 2 and a half months
non-stop day and night so is that still
living in there
um at times it appears uh mostly when I
hear fireworks when I hear that sound it
it really reminds me of of those you
know bombs exploding and grenades and
stuff so it you know it's it's not
really super pleasant but you know you
still have a little bit of trauma but
going back to your question I think it
is connected to that the grit the
resilience they're never giving up
spirit and and I think um it surfaces
normally in the moments when it you know
when it's either break it or make it
your hard to kill is the reality I mean
they all want to get here we have a
saying in our country you know you can
you can kill us I mean our body but you
cannot never kill our our soul and our
spirit so so I really believe in that in
the end of the
day how many tennis players in a history
are are are able to do the things that
I've done and I've achieved I'm not
saying this to praise myself I'm saying
this to remind myself of hey you know
you know pinch yourself look where you
are look what you've done at the same
time I feel like it's just it's it's one
chapter of my life I feel like there are
more chapters to come do you deal with
being away from your kids okay not
really uh to be honest I uh I I do
struggle with that more and more as the
time goes on Australia is a long trip
probably the longest one that we have in
the entire Year my son is nine uh my
daughter is six uh every day every week
they change and you know my daughter's
tooth uh first tooth went out and I
wasn't there for that so I was like you
know but at the same time um it's all
about balance I've got four beautiful
kids as well I've got um you the lot of
my life but I want to show you I love
Annoying them like I'm the most annoying
dad in the history of the world I'm just
going to show you one thing here that I
did at Halloween all right and see if
you get up to this sort of
[Music]
thing you did that I saw that on
Internet it's so beautiful as you get
older though to have those moments uh
dads should play with their children all
the time and I mean that's like my
favorite part of the day just when I
have their attention and when they have
my attention when we are fully present
and we play and we invent stuff and it's
the best it's the best I'm you know I
see getting emotional right now you know
