Novak Djokovic has offered an impressive interview to a Serbian media outlet in which he addresses many topics, and one of them was the difficulties he had to overcome to turn professional. When his career was about to take off, the Serbian needed to travel to the United States to compete for a few weeks and to continue improving. "The total cost of the trip was about $5,000, it was impossible to have that money at that time. My father had to turn to loan sharks, to the mafia. He explained the situation to them, admitted that we were in a hurry, and they charged 30% interest. My father agreed, but there are incredible stories from that time. We had many problems, they even caused a car accident, but he was finally able to pay," he stated.
