Danilovic Djokovic

In remarks cited by Tennis World USA, Olga Danilovic spoke about her compatriot Novak Djokovic. She recounted how much of an example he is to her and how his victory at the Paris Olympics moved an entire country.

"His best advice... I don't know, I can't cite one specific thing he told me, it's more his strength of character. Every time I watch him, I wonder how he does it.

Following his instinct as the best advice

And I don't know... The day he won the Olympics was the most emotional for the whole country. I believe everyone was crying that day.

What I appreciate most about him is his way of being, the fact that he always remains himself when speaking: he is truly authentic. Everything he does comes from the heart. 'Do what you feel,' that's what he shows us every day, and I consider that the best advice."
