“That's what I want written on my grave! I feel like crying now”

Novak Djokovic has received an unusual question, namely what he would like to write on his tombstone after a life in which he had an exceptional sporting career with no less than 24 Grand Slam titles to his credit.

What Novak Djokovic wants to write on his grave: “A man who touched people's hearts”

The athlete didn't think twice and offered the answer: “A man who touched people's hearts. I feel like crying right now. I think I have figured out what I want to write on my monument. Thank you. Thanks for helping me come to this conclusion.

The achievements, the results, the titles are things I am very proud of. I can't ignore them. I'm very proud of that. I've worked like a horse all my life to get where I am now and to be part of this discussion.”

Djokovic's tennis “father”, Nikola Pilic, passed away a month ago and the great athlete has spoken about the painful moment. “He died a little over a month ago. I went to his funeral. It was the first funeral I ever attended.

I had never been before because, because of tennis, but also because I was trying to avoid feelings of sadness, I didn't even go to my great-grandfather's funeral, who I was very close to, and this was the first funeral I attended, and the biggest impression, apart from the enormous sadness and emotions I felt, was the human connection.

The relationships he had. They were talking about how he was as a person, how he treated people, how he changed the lives of young people,” said Novak Djokovic, according to sportal.rs.
