Novak Djokovic shares inspiring message to young people after historic French Open win

Novak Djokovic shared an inspiring message to young athletes after his historic French Open win.

The Serbian tennis star, who beat Casper Ruud on Sunday to scoop a men’s record 23rd Grand Slam title, urged young people to “create a better future”.

“I was a seven-year-old dreaming that I could win Wimbledon and become number one in the world one day,” Djokovic said.

“One thing is for sure, I feel that I had the power to create my own destiny, I tried to visualise every single thing in my life, not only believe it but really feel it with every cell in my body.”
