"My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me." ― Novak Djokovic Topic(s): Family More From Novak Djokovic "I stopped thinking too much about what could happen and relied on my physical and mental strength to play the right shots at the right time." "Well, I do feel that I carry the responsibility of representing my country wherever I am, and this responsibility came with the success that I had in last couple of years, not just myself but the whole group of tennis players that comes from Serbia. And athletes in general are, in this moment, the biggest ambassadors that our country has." "It’s interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say, ‘You shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t do that.’ But with your grandparents you have a feeling that you can say anything or you can do anything, and they will support you. That’s why you have this kind of connection." More In Family "Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material."― F. Scott Fitzgerald "When you live in an alcoholic family or an abusive family, you tiptoe, you don’t want to step on any mines."― Glenn Beck "Pray in your family daily, that yours may be in the number of the families who call upon God."― Christopher Love
