"We have to play around a little bit, we have to use the slang": Novak Djokovic using creative ways to still swear in Serbian on tennis court
ATPWednesday, 01 November 2023 at 13:07
World number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic has revealed that he
is finding ways to swear in his native language on a tennis court.
The 36-year-old was recently quoted in a report where he
expressed those views in a humorous manner.
"Goran and the rest of the team are trying to find new
ways to motivate me,” he said. “They haven't been succeeding much so far. We
have a lot of fun, we are great friends. We have a professional relationship.
"The problem we have, because of the success of
Croatian and Serbian players in the last 30 years or so, we unfortunately have
a situation where most of the umpires understand the swearing words.
"So we have to play around a little bit, we have to use
the slang, create new words, but when you're p***** off you don't think about
creating.”
Djokovic is often regarded as the greatest player in the history
of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand
Slam titles.
His most recent triumph
came while playing in New York where he defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in
the final of the US Open in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3.
