Speaking to reporters, Djokovic joked that becoming a parent has “made him a worse tennis player,” highlighting the constant balancing act between his role as a father and his pursuit of excellence on the tennis court.
Djokovic, who has two children with his wife, Jelena, has been open about the importance of family in his life. However, during the interview, he playfully suggested that the demands of parenting may have impacted his game. “I have to admit, being a father sometimes means sleepless nights and running after the kids,” Djokovic quipped. “I think they might be the reason my serve sometimes isn’t quite what it used to be.”
The Serbian tennis star’s lighthearted comment was met with laughter, but it also highlighted the human side of one of the sport’s greatest competitors. While Djokovic continues to dominate the tennis world, having won 23 Grand Slam titles, his remarks reflect the reality that even elite athletes face the same struggles as any parent.
Despite his joking demeanor, Djokovic’s performance on the court shows no significant signs of decline. In fact, he remains one of the most consistent and successful players in the sport’s history. His ability to juggle the demands of family life with a highly successful career is a testament to his dedication and resilience.
As Djokovic continues to pursue more titles, it’s clear that, despite his humorous complaints, fatherhood hasn’t slowed him down. He remains a fierce competitor, determined to add to his impressive legacy.
