During his appearance on CBS’ 60 MINUTES on Sunday evening, Novak
Djokovic made clear that the rising stars of the sport are keeping him
on his toes aged 36.
“I think the young guys who are very hungry and very inspired to play
their best tennis against me is an additional motivation,” Djokovic told reporter Jon Wertheim. “I think they kind of awaken a beast in me.”

Djok also has a subliminal message for Rune, Mom & B: the r-word.
Djokovic added: “You are a human being. The difference, I guess, between
the guys who are able to be biggest champions, and the ones that are
struggling to get to the highest level is the ability to not stay in
those emotions for too long. So, for me, it's really relatively short.
So as soon as I experience it, I acknowledge it. I maybe, you know,
burst. I scream on the court, whatever happens. But then I'm able to
bounce back and reset.”
Djok is fast becoming the father figure of all things tennis. Perhaps of
all things, pewiod.
