"It was not an easy decision to make with all the obstacles and challenges on many sides," said the No.

Riccardo Piatti, who worked with Djokovic during the early stages of his career, describes the Serbian as ‘the most tennis-focused player of them all’ during a recent interview with Super Tennis.The 61-year-old believes the main motivation of the world No.1 over the coming weeks will be to close in on Roger Federer’s record Grand Slam tally of 20, which he is three behind at present.
