What are the alternative professions for Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray? 

Novak Djokovic was the first one to answer. Interestingly, Novak revealed that he was actually a science freak.

“Well, I would probably stay in sports. Because, I come from a family of you know, athletes. My dad was playing football and professional skier as well, so I’d probably stay in sports. But, even though I do love Science. So I’d probably love to be a scientist of some kind.”

This would come as a shock to many after Novak Djokovic got really close to defending the anti-vaccination stand. Science definitely didn’t seem like his strong subject, as per some of his detractors.

“I’ve always said footballer. I always fancied myself as a bit of a footballer but like right now, it’d be pretty cool to be a doctor because you can’t realize what is important in times like these. It’d be pretty good to actually be able to help other people as well.”

We would definitely like to see them pursue these interesting and motivated ambitions of theirs some day.
