Djokovic, ambitious after Tel Aviv: “My goal is to win tournaments wherever I am”

“My goal is to win tournaments wherever I am and I’m glad I have a team of people around me who make sure I’m in top shape to be a contender to win titles.” assured Novak Djokovic after winning the third title of the season after those conquered in Rome and Wimbledon. The Serbian has played four finals this year and has won three, and is the only one on the ATP circuit to have won trophies on all three surfaces.

“That’s why I came to Israel, to try to win the title. My first time playing here was in a Davis Cup tie over 15 years ago, so it was a really amazing experience.” confessed the former world number one and winner of 21 Grand Slams. Djokovic surprised with his registration in Israel, but he needs points in order to maintain the top-20 that will allow him to be in the ATP Finals. In addition, he serves as a filming for this week, where he raises the level in Astana with the presence of number one Carlos Alcaraz, among others. Then he will arrive at the Masters 1,000 in Paris, where he is the current champion.

“I played very good tennis, I think. I didn’t give up a set all week. I hadn’t played a tournament in three months, so it was really an extra motivation for me to do well, particularly as people have been so nice and supportive throughout the week. I also have great confidence in the coming week. Just everything we experienced this week was positive.”
