Novak Djokovic is on top of the tennis world. After bursting on to the scene almost a decade ago, he now has 10 Grand Slam titles under his belt – three of which he won this year alone – placing him at the top of the tennis rankings above heavyweights Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. And he’s showing no signs of slowing down, driven by a burning passion and his determination to stay on top.
This month in Talk Asia, CNN’s Andrew Stevens hits the court with Djokovic at the Shanghai Masters to discuss his best season yet, his childhood in Serbia and his revitalized take on life.
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to play the sport that I love. And I keep going and Grand Slams are the ones that motivate me the most – no question about it but that doesn’t mean that I’m not giving my 100% on the other tournaments that are there on the tour. So – I’m fully committed but I try to take, as you said, one match at a time…but I do visualize myself and I do dream of and kind of set my goals to winning grand slams,” says tennis’ no. 1 player.
CNN Talk Asia with Novak Djokovic airs Nov. 5 in Manila at 5:30 p.m. with replays until Nov. 15.
