When Nole was a kid, he asked his coach to go to a party and he allowed it, but when Djokovic repeated the question he understood why he will become a great champion! (VIDEO)
Dirk Hordorff, German tennis coach, and a manager of tennis players, discovered for Telegraf some details from the life of Novak Djokovic when he was just 15 years old.
Djokovic was at the Academy of Hordorff for few weeks, and they went to the tournament in Austria together.
The anecdote came from there that shows how much Djokovic has been taking care of himself and his tennis playing for 15 years, and with what kind of dedication he has complied with his obligations. His attitude has already shown that he will be a champion.
- You know, when we talk about your best player, Novak, I remember when he was with me at the camp, he was only 15 years old. We worked and trained hard, in the end, we went to the exhibition tournament in the mountains, in Austria.
- The last day, Novak, who was only 15 years old, approached me and he asked me, "Hey, coach, can I go to a party for players?", at least that is how I understood it. I told him that he played great, that he should enjoy himself, not to drink too much or not to drink at all, and to be in bed before 3 AM because we should go in the morning.
- He said to me: "No, you misunderstood. That is not the question. Is it good for me to go to the party?". I think that today, after fifteen years later and my first response, he would turn around quickly not to think again and go to the party.
