"Sometimes she wants to play, sometimes she's really not interested" - Djokovic on daughter Tara
ATP
Novak Djokovic recently spoke about his children and their relationship with tennis. While his son Stefan seems to be interested in the sport, his daughter Tara is not so much.
While he's a veteran in the world of tennis, Djokovic is a young father in the normal world. He has two children, a son, Stefan, and a daughter, Tara, and he and his wife, Jelena, are doing their best to show them the world of options when it comes to things they can enjoy.
Of course, both got to spend a lot of time around the tennis courts. Their father is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, which is why both Stefan and Tara spend plenty of time around the tennis courts, but at the Paris Masters, Djokovic admitted that his daughter likes other things than tennis.
"My daughter started playing a few times a week with her friends from school and from ballet dancing. She's more into ballet, and she's a real girl, and I love that about her."
"She's kind of flashy with tennis. You know, sometimes she wants to play; sometimes she's really not interested. So, of course, both of them have full freedom to enjoy and to choose what they want to do."
As an athlete, Djokovic knows how important it is to be active. That's why he wants to take part of this part of his children's development, while he leaves the intellectual side to his wife.
"I think it's important for them to be active. I mean, from my point of view, mom is more responsible for the intellectual side and books and taking care of their brain."
"I'm more responsible for the movement and for their physical development that is affecting, of course, everything else. I'm just glad to see them being active and being outdoors. For me, that's the key."
