The top-ranked Serb was asked how he deals with the pressure of attempting to accomplish something that no man has done before in tennis: completing a Golden Slam. Steffi Graf in 1988 is the only tennis player to achieve the Golden Slam, winning all four Grand Slam tournaments and Olympic gold in the same calendar year. Pressure is a privilege, my friend, Djokovic said in answer to a reporter's question after winning both of his matches at the Ariake Tennis Park on Wednesday, beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain to reach the quarterfinals in singles then teaming with partner Nina Stojanovic for another victory in the opening round of mixed doubles. Without pressure there is no professional sport, Djokovic added. If you are aiming to be at the top of the game you better start learning how to deal with pressure and how to cope with those moments on the court but also off the court." Djokovic, who has already won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon this year and needs the Tokyo Games title and the U.S. Open trophy to complete a Golden Slam, said he has learned to deal with all expectations.

KILBOTz 07/28/21 1:09:04 PM #28:	https://www.forbes.com/sites/jodiecook/2021/02/22/pressure-is-a-privilege/ Pressure is a privilege was said often by tennis legend Billie Jean King and has wisdom beyond its simple premise. With 39 Grand Slam titles, she was expected to win. People were counting on her. The weight of expectation might have crushed anyone else but not King. She knew pressure was her privilege and she rose to meet it. Usually if you have tremendous pressure, its because an opportunity comes along. She remembers thinking about the phrase on Centre Court at Wimbledon, realising that she had been dreaming about this moment and feeling a lot of pressure. Even then, she could appreciate how incredible it was to be standing there. Most of the time... if you really think about it usually its a privilege. Whats the alternative? No pressure, no expectations. No records to set, no award-worthy performance. No finding out what you might have been capable of. No chance to serve, no time to shine. The world needs leaders, and you could be one of them but instead you shy away and look for the easy road. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:956544483] in Novak Djok...

The whole situation of mental and pressure stems from her ordeal but if he really didn't know a better way to answer because of language barriers then that would be more understandable.

Of course it's not easy, but it is required to be the best, clearly. Talking winning gold medals at the olympics here after all. I'm not making an argument to say that's more important than just being well. Edit: tbh though the reaction to this whole thing has been pretty disgusting in general.

I asked my buddy (both of us Americans) what he thought about Simone and he had no idea what was going on. To think a Serbian is so caught up on US Olympic results that he is taking veiled shots at her is absurd. He was asked a question and answered it. BJK said the same thing before. Neither directed their comments at anyone.

Spinal163 07/28/21 1:56:30 PM #50:	he is probably biggest mental giant in all of sports right now. Everyone is rooting for Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal who are the 2 biggest name in tennis. When you watch his matches in the later part of Grand Slam tournaments, he doesn't get cheered at all by fans because he is about to overtake their favorite players accolades. <cite>Spinal163 posted [p:956545937] in Novak Djok...
