Novak Djokovic admits he's not 'politically correct' and refuses to talk Australian Open

“I don’t like it when people present themselves as perfect, on and off the court. That does not exist.

“That is why I appreciate Sasha and Daniil. And they are incredible tennis players. I would have hoped to have kicked their backsides a few times this year in Tokyo or in New York but we always ended up joking about it. I love it. It is the rivalry of the Next Gen: Zverev, Djokovic, Medvedev!”

Djokovic drew level with Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal on the male Grand Slam record of 20 singles titles with his sixth Wimbledon triumph in July. But his Major year had begun with his ninth, and most dramatic, triumph at Melbourne Park.

“Even today, some people don’t believe me when I say I had a muscle tear after my match against Fritz in the third round,” he told L’Equipe. “Only my team know what I had to go through every day. I never trained, not even a single time.
