Djokovic: "If My Son Chooses Tennis, He'll Have a Mountain to Climb"
Novak Djokovic made rare personal revelations about his family, particularly concerning the future of his 11-year-old son, Stefan.
In a lengthy interview with the famous British journalist Piers Morgan, the Serbian legend discussed the relationship he has with his son, Stefan, born in October 2014, as well as the possibility of him choosing a professional tennis career.
"If he chooses to play tennis, I will be behind him to support him. But he will have a mountain to climb."
He continued: "LeBron James was able to play with his son on the court, and Cristiano's son is also following in his father's footsteps. It would be a dream to play a professional match against him."
Finally, he concluded humorously: "Of course, I wouldn't let him win; on the contrary, I would try to beat him soundly (laughs)."
