Novak Djokovic: "And that's hurting me more and more, leaving them"
Novak Djokovic recently appeared on Nick Kyrgios' podcast, Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios, and said that even though he still wanted to compete, there was a part of him that missed being with his kids.
The Serb said that he was still hungry for tennis but also wanted to prioritize being a husband and a father.
"The little Novak, the four-year-old Novak, who started playing tennis in Kopaonik in Serbia, is still inside and still in love with the sport and is still so hungry for more. Right? But at the same time, there's probably this more mature Novak, father and a husband, that is, 'Come on, man. There are other things in life as well'," Djokovic said (at 15:13).
He also said that he missed his kids and it was painful leaving them as he tours the world for tennis.
"I really miss my children as we speak now. They are back in Europe, and I haven't seen them for weeks. If I do well here, I will not see them for another two, three weeks, who knows? And that's hurting me more and more, leaving them," he added.
Novak Djokovic will take on Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the first round at the French Open.
