Novak Djokovic dreamt of many things as a child but he never thought he'd be having so many trophies today.

Djokovic dreamed of winning several trophies as a young child, but Wimbledon was the one that stood out in his memory. Djokovic would go on to win several Wimbledon trophies many years later, many more than he ever dream of winning.

When I was eight, I was in my room, in Belgrade Serbia, where I'm from, and I was making the improvised Wimbledon trophy out of the materials that I had in the room. I was making like a little toy and I had a game with myself and I was looking in the mirror, holding this trophy and saying that I will be a Wimbledon champion one day. So, that was the tournament I always dreamt of winning.

He won many trophies since becoming a professional including a 10th Australian Open recently. It's been a dream start to the 2023 campaign and it's been a career that he could not have imagined in the wildest of dreams. He wished for it though.

I always wanted to win as many Grand Slams as possible, but I never thought that I am gonna win this many Australian Opens, no.
