Washington, Nov. 10 (ANI): Tennis ace Novak Djokovic has found focus back in his game after his father's health condition saw steady improvement.
At the start of last week, the Serbian tennis star was battling with the news that his father had been taken seriously ill, which badly affected his preparations for the Paris Masters, and he lost the opening match.
Srdjan Djokovic was hospitalized with a reported acute respiratory condition, but his condition has since improved, which has allowed his son to find focus for the 5.5 million dollars season-ending event in London.
"Well, it was hard. It still is, but there is good news every day. That makes me happier, makes me play more relaxed on the court. I switch off on the tennis court. I try to think only about the match and it's been working well so far," CNN quoted Djokovic, as saying, who lost his grandfather in April just hours before playing a match in Monte Carlo.
"Every win means a lot for my family and me. But there are more important things in life, and that's health. I guess that's the priority now," he added.
Djokovic is now through to the semifinals of the elite eight-man tournament following Friday's 6-2 7-6 (8-6) victory over sixth-ranked Czech Tomas Berdych, which gave him a 100% record in three Group A matches, the report said. (ANI)
