Tennis star Novak Djokovic has disclosed that he has decided to reduce his tennis schedule to better spend more time with his family.
The tennis legend is due to return to the singles tour at the US Open after a six-week absence, having not played since Wimbledon.
In a chat with Tennis365, Djokovic stated that he’ll be picking his games because he wants to spend time with his family.
“I decided not to play [since then] because I wanted to spend more time with my family,” began the Serb, during his pre-tournament press conference.

“And to be honest, you know, I think I earned my right and have the luxury of kind of choosing, picking and choosing where I want to go and what I want to play.I don’t actually have any schedule other than Slams, to be honest.
“So yeah, it’s just not any more prioritising the heavy schedule as I used to. I’m not chasing the rankings or building up my points or defending, etc. I just don’t think about it anymore. For me, it’s really about where do I find motivation and joy?
“Of course, family is my top priority. For example, I may miss my daughter’s birthday on September 2 if I’m still competing here, and that’s something I don’t take lightly.
