With the U.S. Open drawing nearer, all eyes are on the Serbian tennis legend, Novak Djokovic. The Serb gets back to the competition, after missing it in 2021. Rather than remaining in the bustling New York City, Djokovic is selecting a tranquil $40-million home in Alpine, New Jersey. His decision shows his desire for tranquility and calmness. Djokovic’s honesty about his decision gives viewers a brief look into his personal life.

Djokovic’s U.S. Open journey has changed over time, in his playing abilities as well as how he moves toward things off the court. In the past, he used to partake in the New York nightlife with his companions. However, at present, he has chosen an alternate path.

Novak Djokovic shares a strategic move and avoids New York’s nightlife for tennis success

Novak Djokovic partakes in the clamoring environment of Manhattan in the week before the tournament. However, as the U.S. Open draws nearer, Djokovic, alongside his family, enjoys his time in Alpine, New Jersey. There surrounded by nature’s beauty and a friend’s estate, Djokovic switches into what he calls “lockdown mode.” The $40 million estate gives him the tranquility he wants to concentrate and prepare for his matches.

In his interview with the New York Times, Djokovic shared, “I was lucky early on to have people around me that kept me at bay,..But I did have the freedom to explore and go around.”

Djokovic shared a stern thought about the alluring city’s nightlife. The Serb concedes that he had encountered it when he was young. He straightforwardly expresses that in his initial years, he investigated New York around nighttime.

Yet, his devotion and his peer’s recommendation helped him not fall into the very traps that some others did. Djokovic’s choice to remain in Alpine shows he’s focused on keeping on track without distractions.

Djokovic has faced challenging times in recent US tournaments. Starting from 2018, he hasn’t secured a victory in any US Open. He came close to reclaiming the title in 2021 but suffered a defeat against Daniil Medvedev. This loss was not only disheartening due to the final defeat, but it also prevented him from achieving the Grand Slam milestone.
