7x Paris Masters Champion Novak Djokovic Introspects How He Pulled Off Astounding Feat That Eluded Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer

The world number 1 Novak Djokovic proved once again why he is the GOAT as he lifted the Rolex Paris Masters trophy for the 7 time in his extraordinary career. He battled the Bulgarian superstar Grigor Dimitrov in the championship match and after a 3-hour long battle, he came out victorious. Unsurprisingly, his fans are pleased with the outcome and now he is all set to end the season as the world number 1.

He is the only player who has won the title in Bercy 7 times. Not even the other 2 members of the iconic Big 3, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, have won as many titles as the Serb. Recently, after his match, he revealed what sets him apart and keeps him going.

Novak Djokovic shares how he achieved a feat at Paris Masters that eluded both Nadal and Federer

Roger Federer has only won once at the Paris Masters and Rafael Nadal has not won a single title there. However, Djokovic has won 7 times. In a presser after his match, he was asked about his dominance in the hard courts of Bercy, Paris.

To this, he said, “My goal is to end the season on a high note, on the highest note possible. I’m one of the players who are very motivated to end the season on a high note. With all of the emotion and the energy from the public this week in Paris, every day I find the motivation to play my best tennis in Paris, at Roland Garros, or here in Bercy. May it be the beginning of the year and we can see it with the outcome I had in Australia, but also, I’m very motivated at the end of the year with Bercy here, and you can see the outcome here. So that’s the reason.”

After giving such a tough fight to Djokovic, Dimitrov had expected that he had the skills to win the most significant title of his career to date. Since that did not happen, he got emotional as he sat on the bench contemplating his loss. But Djokovic made sure to console him. He left his interview in between and gave a hug to a dejected Dimitrov.

In fact, he also shared a few words of appreciation for the former world No.3. He mentioned that Dimitrov gave him a very tough fight and played at a very high level. He shared that he did not give him much space to hit shots in the beginning and Djokovic felt he would lose too. However, in the end, it was the 24-time Grand Slam champion who reigned supreme. With only the ATP Finals to play for this season, do you think Djokovic will add another title in Turin?
