Novak Djokovic has offered a sincere reflection on his relationship with his two great rivals: Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. In an interview with former footballer and coach, Slaven Bilic, the Serbian explained that his behavior has always been the same, but the dynamic changed when he perceived a distancing from them: "My behavior towards them never changed. The situation changed because they changed their attitude towards me. I always tried to be, how to say it... I admired them. And I still consider them as those who paved the way for me", Djokovic affirmed. 

The Serbian openly acknowledged a distancing from Federer: "From the moment I felt that coldness and distance on his part, I said to myself: 'Alright, no problem.' Then, when they approached me, I welcomed them with open arms". And he confessed that he has always understood Nadal a little better: "I always had the impression of understanding him better. We are almost the same age, so maybe that's why."
