Having the ability to maintain the excitement when you have won everything is something hardly understandable for mortals, but Novak Djokovic seems to be in another sphere. After reaching the third round of the 2025 Australian Open, the Serbian legend addressed various topics of great interest in a press conference, such as his feelings, the role of Andy Murray in his team, or the rule of being able to talk to coaches.
Trivializing successes when they become routine is one of the most common and unfair mistakes we humans make, but we must acknowledge how impressive what Novak Djokovic continues to do is. After becoming the player with the most Grand Slam matches played, with 430, the Serb attended a press conference to discuss current issues in which he shared interesting insights before focusing on the third round of the 2024 Australian Open, where he will face Tomas Machac.
- Feelings during his match against Faria
"I am very satisfied with the victory, I really liked how I started the match and how I finished it. I feel that I managed to focus to the maximum in the crucial moments and elevate my game, especially in the fourth set. It has been another great test for me. Obviously, I would have preferred not to drop another set along the way, but credit must be given to my opponent. I believe he has a lot of potential, he played a great match and put a lot of pressure on me at various stages of the encounter. I really liked my mentality today," he stated.
- Possibility of speaking directly with the coach during matches
"I support the idea, I think it's a good innovation for the tournament. It is us, the tennis players, who select the people we want in that box, available to talk to us. I like it as it is now, without microphones, because I am concerned that if what we talk about in terms of tactics is public, someone from the other team might hear it, call the coach, and we lose all our privacy," explained the Balkan player.
- Andy Murray's coaching approach
"Andy's work ethic is impressive, I love the great dedication he puts in. He has spent many hours watching videos of my opponents, analyzing their game, and also reviewing recordings of my recent matches to draw conclusions about my tennis. He encourages me to watch specific moments and we discuss them to talk about tactics in training. I really enjoy analyzing things from videos, and that is something he has always done as well. We are understanding each other very well," affirmed Novak Djokovic, who continues to pursue his path with enthusiasm in this 2025 Australian Open.
