00:00There's a word in Serbian called inat,
00:03when people doubt you.
00:05What's it been like to be something of a bad guy?
00:08When everyone is basically against you.
00:11I don't believe people are booing, that is horrendous.
00:14That's when you use that inat, that force of stubbornness to prove everybody wrong.
00:21You look at Novak Djokovic, you can see when the fans are giving him that feeling of being
00:27the villain, even though he's the champion.
00:32Nobody can touch what he's accomplished, he's the best of all time.
00:38What's it like to play Novak?
00:40Difficult.
00:42Novak is kind of looked at as a party crasher.
00:45Djokovic wins again.
00:48Here's a guy who sort of looks and acts and feels different.
00:51You know, table for three please.
00:53You need to be elegant and sophisticated to play the game.
00:57And you need to be the chosen one.
00:59Novak was not the chosen one.
01:02I had to be kind of a parent at 13 years old.
01:06I wasn't able to express my feelings.
01:09Every obstacle that came his way, it got him stronger.
01:14There are days where I feel like I'm the best.
01:17There are days where I'm doubting myself a lot.
01:20How long should I do this?
01:22Why am I putting myself and my family through this over and over again?
01:27The number one doubter is here.
01:29And I'm trying to prove myself wrong more than anybody else.
01:35People think, you know, you've achieved so many great things and now you should enjoy.
01:40I cannot enjoy.
01:43He still has something to prove.
01:47He's gotten to the point where he's breaking his own records.
01:52No matter how much he does, it will never be enough.
01:55You have to literally transform every part of your life outside of the tennis court
02:04to be in service to the tennis court.
02:10No matter how much he does, it will never be enough.
02:11And that has consequences.
02:14Please be a real person.
