"Don't ask about his career, he's only eight years old" - Djokovic on his son Stefan playing tennis

Stefan Djokovic was spotted playing tennis at Wimbledon earlier this year and it seems like he will continue to play it.

The 8-year-old, who has been around tennis since birth, has developed a deep interest in the sport. Following his victory over Maxime Cressy in the opening round, Novak Djokovic was questioned about his kid. He said that watching his son play tennis inspires him.

"Yes, of course. I said that for me it's the greatest source of motivation to see him when he watches me in a tournament or when he asks me to play, it's a very special feeling that I have never had in my life. So it's also interesting to feel or to hear what he says. When he's watching a match, it's very special."

The 8-year-old likes Nadal best which Djokovic proudly joked about many times but he also struck a more serious tone while continuing to discuss him:

"But I don't put him under pressure. I don't put expectations on him. For me it's important for him to see tennis as a game, a sport that can help him develop physically, mentally, etc. But it's too early to talk about his career and anything else. It's too early. So please don't ask questions about his career. He's only 8 years old. So it's too early."
