Asked if he was proud of his Grand Slam final record, Djokovic added: “Yes, of course. I have to be very proud. Obviously, 10 minutes after the match, I’m a little disappointed now, but As I reflect on the past few weeks and what I’ve been through…
“I must say, I’m very satisfied because Wimbledon has been my childhood dream tournament and I’ve always wanted to come here and compete on center stage. I try to remind myself how surreal it feels to be here.
“Even though I’ve had the privilege of competing for trophies ten times, every time I step on this pitch it feels like the first time. I’m a kid living out a childhood dream. Thank you.”
“To my wife, I love you, thank you for supporting me, thank you for being here. And to my amazing kids, thank you for bringing a smile to my face every day, I cry every time I see them.” Having them at the closing ceremony, I am so grateful to be a father to these two little angels who love tennis.
“They love tennis more and more! I don’t know if I have the courage to continue coaching for my son! There are many good things in life, my son, and tennis is not the only thing, but if you really want to pursue it, I will support you!
“Okay, enough of that. I want to say thank you to my entire team. Thank you for being there for me in the good times and the bad. I love you and thank you for standing by me, thank you so much.”
