Because I love tennis, I fell in love with this famous two-week schedule - the four Grand Slams; because I love the four Grand Slams, I fell in love with the king and queen who conquered them. The four Grand Slams, Australia and France, are the highest palace of tennis and the supreme glory of the king.

In the seven years from 2011 to 2017, Djokovic won 5 of the 7 Australian Opens, including three consecutive championships in 2011-2013 and two consecutive championships in 2015-2016.
