"I just think I emotionally collapsed there and teared up with my mother and my brother" - Novak Djokovic on his post-Australian Open victory celebrations

Novak Djokovic celebrates in his team's box after winning the Men's Singles Final match

Novak Djokovic, who treated fans to a very emotionally-charged celebration after winning the 2023 Australian Open, admitted that he just collapsed emotionally when he celebrated his win with his brother and mother in the player's box.

In his post-match press conference, the World No. 1 spoke about the mental and emotional strength required for him to achieve his goal in Melbourne after last year's visa controversy, which in turn led to his outburst.

"Of course, when I went into my box, I just think emotionally collapsed there and teared up with especially my mother and my brother, when I gave them a hug, because up to that moment, I was not allowing myself to, I guess, be distracted with things off the court or whatever was happening in dealing with an injury.

"It required enormous mental energy really to stay present, to stay focused, to take things day by day, and really see how far I can go," Djokovic said.
