Australian Open: Novak Djokovic says upbringing gave him hunger for success
Novak Djokovic says queuing for bread in difficult times in Serbia gave him the inner steel needed to fight back to win an eighth Australian Open crown.
Djokovic was struggling physically and mentally before he recovered to beat Austria's Dominic Thiem in five sets.
"I came from literally nothing and difficult life circumstances together with my family and with my people," he said after his record-extending title.
"That's why I managed to find that extra gear."
Djokovic, 32, won his 17th Grand Slam title by beating Thiem 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 6-4, moving him closing to Swiss Roger Federer's record of 20 and Spaniard Rafael Nadal's tally of 19.
