Recently, during the on-court interview after the fourth-round win, he gushed over his five-year-old daughter when asked about whether she is into tennis or not.
He said, “She is not into tennis at all. She’s into ballet and gymnastics. You know, she’s a really cute girl, little girl. She is keeping me, I guess keeping me grounded and humble as well, and she spins me around every single day. Whenever she looks at me, I’m disarmed. Her look is the most beautiful look I’ve ever experienced in my life. I miss them.”
Before talking about his daughter, he also talked about his son, Stefan. And after talking about his children, it was an emotional moment as the Serbian legend was on the edge of showing his emotions as he expressed his love for them.
