“Honestly, in recent years I’ve been listening very rarely to what commentators say. There’s a few I like to listen to though: “Viska”, Lleyton Hewitt, who does a great job at the Australian Open, John McEnroe, and Boris Becker. There are also some I don’t really like, because they manage to make me nervous, so I turn down the volume when they’re on. During Grand Slam tournaments I mainly follow the evening matches. During the morning I stay with the kids, so I can’t do it. Generally, I watch the matches of my great rivals, Federer and Nadal, I never miss those. We follow each other, it’s normal and logical. I watch replicas on YouTube, so that I can skip some parts and watch just those I’m interested in: key moments and tipping points in the score, just to see how a certain player did under pressure.”

Those are some interesting revelations by Novak Djokovic. It was obvious that top players observe every move of each other. He also realizes that Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are his major rivals on the way to the top position.
