The tradition in Serbia has always been team sports - football, basketball, handball, volleyball and water polo, individual sports are not supported.

I lost to a better player who played some courageous tennis and deserved to win.

I remember as a kid, I was improvising and making little trophies out of different materials and going in front of the mirror, lifting the trophies and saying 'Nole was the champion!'

Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.

I never wanted to change countries; it's something that is part of me.

Serbian history tells that family is the most important thing and you have to stick with the family.

All children have rights and those rights must be protected.
