Djokovic credits hiking trip for success

-

Novak Djokovic put his career back on track this year and he credits a mind-cleansing hiking trip with his wife after the French Open with the extraordin­ary turnaround. “After the trip in nature, everything came together,” Djokovic said. “The finals in Queens, the titles at Wimbledon, Cincinnati and the U.S. Open. In May, who would have thought I would be in this position.” The Serbian tennis great went from winning all four Grand Slam tournament­s in a row in 2015-16 to a two-year drought while bothered by an elbow injury. In July, the 31-yearold Djokovic won his fourth Wimbledon title and followed that with a third U.S. Open championsh­ip, bringing his total to 14 majors.
