It is a hot day today in Melbourne, 40C! But that doesn’t stop us, we are working :) I had a great sparing partner today, the best junior in the world – Nikola Milojevic from Serbia. #soproud So, I’m ready for my match – 3rd from 11am. See you guys!!!

Vreo dan u Melburnu, 40C a možda i više. Ali to nas ne sprečava da vredno radimo! :) Danas sam imao najboljeg juniora na svetu za sparing partnera, našeg Nikolu Milojevića. Tako da znate, spreman sam za meč sutra koji bi trebalo da bude treći po redu od 11am. Vidimo se!

Here is the little girl from last year that challenged me to play with her on my practice. She came to see me today, and guess what? We did it again. Always a pleasure! :)
On the other note, I’ve been saddened by the horrible news of Brad Drewett’s health (the president of ATP). He is forced to fight a very tough disease and for that he has to leave the ATP office. I wish him all the best, and hope he can recover and win this battle. This should serve to all of us as a reminder of how important health is, since many of us take it for granted on good days. We only have one life and one body to care of, and we better do it right. You never know what tomorrow may bring and so we better live this life the best we can and be grateful for everything we have.

Možda se sećate ove slatke devojčice koja me je prošle godine zamolila da prebacim par loptica sa njom posle mog treninga. Video sam je ponovo danas i naravno, nisam odoleo da to ne ponovim i ovaj put :)
Nažalost, želeo bih da se osvrnem i na tužnu vest koju sam saznao danas. Brad Drewett, predsednik ATPa je suočen sa jako teškom bolešću zbog koje je primoran da napusti ATP. Želim mu od srca sve najbolje i nadam se da će pobediti bolest. Neka ovaj primer služi svima nama kao podsetnik koliko je zdravlje bitno, jer mnogi od nas to zaborave kada smo zdravi. Imamo samo jedan život i jedno telo o kojem moramo da brinemo jer nikad se ne zna šta sutra donosi. Trebamo da budemo zahvalni za svaki dan koji imamo na ovom svetu i živimo ga najbolje što umemo.

Happy with my match today. One win under the belt, but still a long way to go. It feels good to play again on RLA :) Really like my new Speed racquet! You should test it as well and let us know your feedback via http://head.com/g/eu/fb-app at HEAD Tennis for a chance to win a tennis match with me and Maria! What do you say? :)

Zadovoljan sam kako sam odigrao meč danas. Prvi oficijalni meč, prvi turnir i prva pobeda. Dobar je osećaj igrati ponovo u Rod Laver areni. Srećna vam svima Nova godina i nek vam donese puno lepih trenutaka i zdravlja i sreće! Baš mi se sviđa moj novi Speed reket! Testirajte ga i vi ako ste u prilici putem aplikacije http://head.com/g/eu/fb-app i javite nam na HEAD Tennis šta mislite. Možda dobijete priliku da odigrate meč sa mnom i Marijom! Šta kažete na to? :)
