“Extra Motivation”: Novak Djokovic When It Comes to Representing Serbia

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has become one of the most complete athletes in recent times. The manner in which he commands himself on the court and off the court is commendable. He not only competes for himself but takes it upon himself to help his nation win titles.

At the moment, Djokovic is representing Serbia at the Davis Cup 2021. He won his opening match with ease. The Serb cruised over Dennis Novak from Austria in straight sets. After the match, the World No. 1 player spoke about the importance and honor of representing his country on these grand stages like the Davis Cup.

The 34-year-old player spoke on this subject and stated, “It feels great to play for Serbia again,” Djokovic said. “We are part of an individual sport, but I love to play for my country and I try to play when they need me. It has been a long year, but you always find extra motivation playing for your country.”

Novak Djokovic is a principled individual

Although tennis is an individual sport, players like Djokovic find it a privilege to play for their nation. Having played a lot of tennis this season, after dealing with all the fatigue, the Belgrade-born player still gets the added motivation that helps him compete for Serbia to the best of his abilities. 

Coming to tennis, Djokovic won the first three Grand Slam titles this season. Sadly, he lost in the final to Medvedev at the US Open. He then won the Paris Masters. All eyes will be on the Serb if he decides to defend his title at the Australian Open in 2022. We wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors.
