“I am relieved and happy that its over” Novak Djokovic talks about the difficult phase of his life at the beginning of the year post his Wimbledon win

Novak Djokovic is on cloud nine after his 7th Wimbledon win at the All England Club on Sunday, 10th July after defeating Nick Kyrgios. He is just one title away from equaling Roger Federer at the SW19, who has 8 Wimbledon wins to his kitty. It was a tough ride for him at the beginning of the year when he had to be deported from the Australian Open 2022 due to him not being vaccinated.

This win made him just closer to equaling Rafael Nadal‘s record of most singles Grand Slam titles. This is his first win of the season. His coach, Goran Ivanisevic claimed it as an ‘very emotional and tough year’ for them due to the backlash and various controversies they faced which erupted after the Australian Open. It literally affected them a lot and this win shut down the haters.

“It was difficult to handle as I am a human being after all”: Novak Djokovic

In a recent interview after his Wimbledon triumph, Djokovic said, ” It’s a relief. It has been a huge challenge and obstacle for me to overcome emotionally“. He said that he is not much of an emotional person but to see so much being said about him even after achieving so much, it did affect him at some point of time after all he himself is a human. It did affect him emotionally and mentally. He also did not understand how to tackle such situations as this was the first time where he got affected even though he does not carry any emotional baggage.

He also said that this win is very much important for him and his team as it would shut down the hate and all that backlash he had to face especially after the Australian Open fiasco. He also pointed out to the media stating, “There we some very ugly insults, provocations and the media constantly reminding me about what happened, and it got to me”. Even after such emotional turmoil, he is receiving end. His self-belief and ability to bounce back at crucial points of life and keeping fighting till its over keeps him motivated and overcome such challenges in life.
