Don’t think he had a particularly privileged upbringing, maybe this is what’s made him so mentally strong, which at the very top of the game is what it takes, he just can’t be beaten…..Quote:

His parents may have been wealthy but he was young when the NATO/UN were peacefully bombing his country!!!, very traumatic for him, he has spoken about this, I wouldn't describe his upbringing as privileged. I'm agreeing with you BTW :thumbup:Quote:

Monster performance, its got to end soon and i thought Wimbledon would be the start of the downward spiral but he's not giving up and still putting everything into his game to take on the new kids on the block.Quote:

But I'm starting to think Djokovic is edging it now. He has had to win most of those medals when Federer was around, and I think he's overtaken Serena now on singles titles.
