Novak Djokovic claimed victory in the Paris Masters this past weekend and he summed up what makes the French capital so special.

Djokovic said that he has achieved many major milestones in the city including playing in his maiden major.

He added that those types of memories stay with him forever and that he gets support from a good Serbian community in Paris that always come to encourage him.

"It's one of the cities where I feel well. I have been here for 15 years. I played the French Open at a junior level, then my maiden Major and I played for the first time a match in a Central Court against Guillermo Coria in 2005.

This kind of memories stay with you forever. There is also a very nice Serbian community in Paris. They always come here to encourage me. There is also a real culture of tennis in France, a country that hosts many tournaments. People know the players."
