Shhhhh!
By you.
“Whether or not Rafael Nadal plays in Paris doesn’t change anything because everything is in my hands,” Djokovic told Sportski Zurnal.
Correct. This shouldn't come as news to anyone. Djokovic is only concerned with how he plays. Whether Nadal is there or not, he gonna try his best, no?
But that's not true. If it was only down to Djokovic he wouldn't have got thrashed in the final at RG.
Main one is nobody cares about Masters?
He used to hide them very well.
What does that have to do with weeks at #1 and YE#1, he only gained points by being in a RG final, and how he will play for the rest of the year.
Hottest wife, and sexiest smile, duh!Oops, forgot most beautiful game*
Now, That's all that matters anyways
Fan replies: "Roger, who???"
RF ga inside out forehand pey kasam karke kaho ki Fed retire honey ke baad tu group mey inactive nahi rahega
He should care about tennis maybe instead of some stupid record which is not even GS numbers record.
Well it's not true, but if you're a pro that's how you're going to think. I know that was my mindset whenever I played tournaments, and I'm just some Bahmet-tier amateur. Focus on what you can control. Have a gameplan for whatever the draw throws at you, but don't obsess over it.

Is Djokovic sincere?
Winning grand slams is no longer my priority, says Djokovic
BELGRADE (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic no longer sees winning grand slam titles or staying top of the men’s ATP rankings as a priority in his tennis career, Serbia’s world number one said on Friday.
“I don’t want to think about winning titles and being the number one any more in order to avoid putting pressure on myself,” Djokovic, the winner of 12 major tournaments, told reporters.
“I put too much pressure on myself after winning this year’s Roland Garros and I didn’t like it,” the 29-year-old added.
“I always enjoyed tennis and relished the game away from tournaments too but in the last few months, all the talk about making history has brought too much pressure.
“It doesn’t mean I no longer want to contribute to the sport but I also don’t want to keep on playing just for the sake of winning titles.”
Djokovic, who steamrolled to Australian and French Open titles in the first half of the season, has suffered a dramatic loss of form since and pulled out of next week’s China Open with an elbow injury.
He lost to American Sam Querrey in the Wimbledon third round before he was knocked out in the opening round of the Olympic Games by Argentine Juan Martin del Potro.
Djokovic was unstoppable in 2015 when we won three out of four major titles and this year he finally completed a career slam after clinching his maiden French Open title by beating Briton Andy Murray in the final.
He pointed out several times after his Wimbledon and Olympic disappointments that the effort had drained him mentally and physically, raising question marks over his ability to equal Swiss maestro Roger Federer’s career tally of 17 grand slams.

I'm not Federer fan. I like his game the most from BIG3 but I'm not that interested in ATP to care.
So why did he imply that he wasn't winning only because he was disinterested in winning?
Mein kyon inactive rahunga bhai??
Seems Djokovic has all but conceded the slam race. Note he says after he gets no.1 record he will focus on slams. Surely focussing on slams would mean ranking comes anyway?
