Novak Djokovic On-Court Interview | 2024 US Open Round 1

Seems like every time you step on the court these days, you're setting new records. I don't know if you even know about this one, but you are now the all-time winningest male player on this court. How does it feel to play on this court so often and to be so effective here? I was not aware of it, to be honest with you. I didn't get a chance to see the video, I was too late, but thank you. Thank you very much. It's the biggest stadium, definitely the loudest stadium that we have in the history of our sport. And the night sessions are the best in the world here in Arc de Triomphe. Ever since the roof was introduced, I think it became even louder. Electric atmosphere, incredible energy. And obviously with some new rules this year that the crowd is able to move around, there's a lot of things happening on the court and we are clocking the midnight right now. I love playing night sessions, but maybe not this late. But nevertheless, it was a great fun and I want to thank everybody for staying in. Thank you guys, I appreciate you. We'll try to wrap this up quickly. Just one more question. Part of that record is the longevity. 37 years old, you look like you're moving like you're 21 years old. How do you do this for this long? There's not one, I guess, word or secret that would probably describe it all. I think it's just a way of life, a way to approach my professional tennis career. I was fortunate early on in my life to really be surrounded with some very knowledgeable, passionate people that were kind enough to share their guidance with me for years. They taught me very early on that prevention equals longevity, so stretching, warm-up, everything that I do early on in my life will come back to me later on in the career. Obviously, the body is one part, the mentality, the emotional, mental aspect is something. On the other side, you've got to find the optimal balance between the two. I'm still enjoying myself to compete. I'm very self-critical on the court. At times, very frustrated, but at the end of the day, this sport gave me so much. Me continuing to play and giving 100% every time I step out on the court is paying back to this wonderful sport. Well, these fans appreciate all the hard work you've done. Now go get some rest and good luck.
