Recent World Ranking leader Novak Djokovic has expressed his hope of becoming the greatest of all time with the help of Croatian legend Goran Ivanisevic, who is currently a Serbian coach. Djokovic dropped out of the group stage of the ATP Final Event in London earlier this month and is currently in another major European capital, Madrid, for his participation in the Davis Cup Finals.
I rented it because we generally have the same culture. Our mentality is very similar, he understands me very well, said Djokovic, quoted by TennisWorld. The Serb added that when he was 13 he first met Croatia.
I have great respect for him because at one time he was the best player in our region and I wanted to be like him. We are friends with him. He is an amazing, honest and outspoken person and a great player. He knows what it is like to compete at the highest level, the Serb continued, talking about the Wimbledon 2001 champion.
There are many t hings that can be improved. There are days when you don`t feel well. That`s why the coach is very important. He understands what mental and physical state I am in. Things are wonderful so far, and I hope it continues to be so, said the 32-year-old top tennis player.
Asked about the differences between Ivanisevic and one of Djokovic`s former coaches - German legend Boris Becker, Nole replied: He (Becker) is as crazy as us, the Balkans. We`re getting on well. I love Boris, he`s my friend. Each is unique. It`s hard to compare them. I hope to become the greatest of all time with Goran.
