    During his appearance on CBS’ 60 MINUTES on Sunday evening, Novak
    Djokovic made clear that the rising stars of the sport are keeping him
    on his toes aged 36.

    “I think the young guys who are very hungry and very inspired to play
    their best tennis against me is an additional motivation,” Djokovic told reporter Jon Wertheim. “I think they kind of awaken a beast in me.”

    Djok also has a subliminal message for Rune, Mom & B: the r-word.

    Djokovic added: “You are a human being. The difference, I guess, between
    the guys who are able to be biggest champions, and the ones that are
    struggling to get to the highest level is the ability to not stay in
    those emotions for too long. So, for me, it's really relatively short.
    So as soon as I experience it, I acknowledge it. I maybe, you know,
    burst. I scream on the court, whatever happens. But then I'm able to
    bounce back and reset.”

    Djok is fast becoming the father figure of all things tennis. Perhaps of
    all things, pewiod.

    “Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, he knew not
    where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call sounding imperiously, deep in the forest.”

    What I liked most about that interview was Djokovic talking about how he
    wants to help those players that are lower ranked. He knows and admits
    that lower ranked players don't have the resources that the top tiers have.

    I also really liked Djokovic's response when he was pressed about his supposedly "anti-vax" view. He stated that he was "pro-choice" regarding
    the vax. Jon Wertheim knew he had zero basis to argue the pro-choice
    logic, so for once Jon remained quiet.
