Novak Djokovic says he wants to get closer to Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer on a deeper level over the next 5 to 10 years, ‘I would love to pick their brains & understand what they were thinking about, how they were handling certain situations on the court’ Novak: “Each one of us has had and has currently his own way in life and journey. And I think, with Roger, the last few times that I saw him, we talk about family, being on the road. And actually I do wish to connect with those guys more, on a deeper level. I really do. Whether that’s going to happen or not, I don’t know if they share the same desire or willingness. I do. I do want to...and let’s see, it depends how life is going to guide us or turn out for all of us. We live in different places and I think tennis is what brought so much to all of us. And tennis is probably still going to bring us together in some shape or form.” “Maybe in 5 to 10 years, you guys will be on a boat out there.” Novak perks up: “I will definitely extend my invitation to both of these guys for some chilling, relaxing time, and reflection.” Novak: “There are only three people in the history of men’s tennis who know what you guys know and have achieved what you guys have achieved. And so I have to imagine there will be a moment when there’s a desire for each of you to talk about this exceptionally rare thing.” Novak: “I actually share the same excitement as you do with this idea. I do wish to have a drink or two with them and just open up and talk about the things that annoyed everyone about me! Or vice versa, whatever it is. Let’s just put it all out there. And I think I would love to also pick their brains and understand what they were thinking about, how they were handling certain situations on the court, pressures of the world that is on your shoulders when you’re at the top of the game. And I have my observations, ’cause I did observe them as they did observe me over the years. But it’s different when you hear it from the man himself. So I hope that in some kind of environment that is really relaxing, one day we can all open up and reflect. It would be great for us. But also I think it would send a great message to the people who follow tennis and sports that, hey, three of us getting together.” ❤️ Source: gq.com/story/novak-djokovic-…
