I’m not sure we are entirely conscious of the kind of person we have in our country, but we have to appreciate him so much. As tennis players, we understand how tough it is to achieve what he has done, so he is a true blessing

Olga Danilovic added

Djokovic has been pretty vocal about a wider distribution of prize money to players lower down the rankings. He has also led the formation of the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA which vows to assist players in any disputes they may have with the ATP and WTA Tours.

He is absolutely the greatest player of all time. Being Serbian and having his name as every record in No. 1, it’s something we are all so proud of. He is going to leave a crazy legacy behind of being the greatest athlete in the world. He has that Serbian mentality.

Olga Danilovic said

Djokovic, who has 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, most recently completed tennis as he clinched the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Now, the Serbian has nothing left to win on the tour. But despite this, Djokovic continues to compete with and challenge the younger generation of tennis players.
