Djokovic about his trophy room: "It's still much smaller than Roger's room, that's for sure and Rafa's and Jimmy Connors'"

Novak  Djokovic beat Roger Federer in the Cincinnati's final and won his 70th career-title. But Serbian tennis player  is still far away from Federer (98 career titles ) and Rafael Nadal (80 titles). "Well, it's still much smaller than Roger's room, that's for sure and Rafa's and Jimmy Connors'. But of course, I take care of the trophies. Most of them are actually in Serbia. My parents, my father especially is very proud, and he keeps them -- we have a tennis club in Belgrade and we have a little trophy room. So we keep it there." Djokovic has been working with tennis analyst Craig O'Shannessy. In the final against Federer, he was perfect in terms of tactics and told about it: "I think it's important to have the data analysis', the Belgrade native recognized. 'I have been doing that and I think most of the top players have been doing that for many years. It's no secret because you try to prepare for your opponent. "You try to get as much information as possible. You work and talk with your team to simply that and make sure you come up with the right tactics. But I don't think that has something to do with anticipation on the short balls and reading maybe where he's going to hit his overhead. "Maybe serves, yeah, at times, but he's putting so much variety in his serve, and he hits his spots so beautifully every time he needs it. Throughout his career, he's probably the best-ever clutch server, him and Pete Sampras, probably. But he always delivers, and I was just lucky few times to read his serve well and be in the right position and anticipate. Sometimes that's what you need to do. You can't rely on the stats, because they can get you to a certain point, but then it's, you know, everyone's game, I guess, you know, on the court," said Djokovic commenting about his trophy room.
