He also told the kids that he was going to bring a net between two lamp posts to hook them up and play nicely. He said that one lives for such moments and since he is a father, he will invoke these situations to play with his children since Djokovic himself started playing the game by hitting the ball on the wall of a road or tennis court as a child. Novak Djokovic will be back in action, starting with the Dubai ATP competition, before playing at the Masters events in Indian Wells and Miami next month.
