Djokovic: "I'm working to be able to compete with a 20-year-old".
As he kicks off his Olympic tournament, Novak Djokovic made no secret of his ambitions in a press conference. He has huge ambitions.
Ready for battle, the Serb hopes to finally fulfill his Olympic dream by winning gold.
Questioned by the press, he even made indirect reference to Carlos Alcaraz, against whom he is surely hoping to exact revenge: "This year has been a bit difficult both physically and mentally.
But these are circumstances I'm not experiencing for the first time. I understand the situation.
Maybe I don't have as much time as I did ten or fifteen years ago. I concentrate on the big events.
That's why I'm working to be able to compete with a 20-year-old at the highest level. I'm really looking forward to this tournament."
