ATP> Djokovic: “I was brought up to be honest”

During his improvised press conference yesterday Novak Djokovic did not mince words. He clearly defined his goals for the end of the year but also the one that was close to his heart for his entire career: “The goals are clear, I want to end the year in number one and gain a significant advantage for the first three months of 2021, because in this way I will achieve one of the two biggest goals. Pressure is an integral part of my life. You have to know how to accept it and the real question is whether you can use it for fuel or against yourself. This situation does not burden me as much as it did at the start of my career. Maybe someone thinks I have too high ambitions, but I was raised to be honest. Maybe people like to pretend, I have to respect that. Me, my goal is to be a historical number one and I am working on it. “
