Djokovic speaks about breaking Federer, Nadal's dominance

Novak Djokovic spoke about Roger Federer’s and Rafael Nadal’s legacies in tennis and the Serbian player admitted the Spaniard and the Swiss have left a deep impact on the game. The top trio have dominated for well over a decade now and have amassed an astonishing 55 Grand Slam titles between them. Djokovic commented on how he managed to break their dominance on the ATP Tour. The Serb said: “There were times where it was really difficult when I was losing most of those important matches at the later stages of the majors against those two guys. But, look, I've always believed in myself. I have to say there were times when I questioned myself, but I have always overcome it because the belief was so strong. I knew that if I work hard if I work on my game to try to improve it, get it to the stage where I feel comfortable to beat those guys. Obviously it's a process of self-belief and working on yourself and your game to getting on that level that enables you to challenge the best players in the world. The dominance of Nadal and Federer was tremendous, especially in this period when I was breaking through and trying to, you know, challenge them for major titles. Of course, it does play with your mind. Of course, when you see somebody so dominant and so successful, you know, you wonder whether or not you have the chance."
