"I'm not chasing anybody" - says Djokovic is adamant to carve out his own path

It remains to be seen whether he will win it in the end or whether somebody will find a way to beat him but the Serbian is adamant about carving out his own path. After beating Fucsovics in straight sets he came only two wins away from equaling Federer's and Nadal's Grand Slam tally. On that he said:

“I'm not chasing anybody. I'm making my own path and my own journey, my own history. I'm privileged to be part of the history of this sport that I love. I know about a lot of stats. I don't know about all of them. But they do motivate me, even more, to play my best tennis at the events that count the most in our sport.”

Asked to asses his tennis at this event he explained:

“Overall, I feel like I've been hitting the ball well throughout the entire tournament, putting myself exactly where I want to be [in the] semi-finals. [I’m] not spending too much energy. Now I really have to be consistent from the first to last point in the next match, and hopefully another one on Sunday."
