With the topic of athletes' mental health and pressure being discussed at the Olympics, Novak Djokovic said "pressure is a privilege".
"Pressure is a privilege, my friend," Djokovic said in answer to a reporter's question after winning both of his matches at the Ariake Tennis Park on Wednesday, beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain to reach the quarter-finals in singles then teaming with partner Nina Stojanovic for another victory in the opening round of mixed doubles.
"All that buzz and all that noise is the thing that, I can't say I don't see it or I don't hear it, of course it's there, but I've learned, I've developed the mechanism how to deal with it in such a way that it will not impose destruction to me. It will not wear me down," Djokovic said. "I feel I have enough experience to know myself how to step on the court and play my best tennis.
