Novak Djokovic says that comments made by his junior coach Jelena Gencic, that he is having personal problems affect his game, are off base.
“Jelena is one of the first coaches,” he told reporters. “She taught me all the basic stuff about tennis. She helped me a lot in my life. She knows me well. We haven't seen each other so often in the last five, six years. We are still in touch. It was great feeling to share our dream. I can say "ours" because it was her dream also to win a Wimbledon trophy and to be out there with her. I'm sure she didn't mean any harm, and everybody can observe the situation around me, around a regular person on different kind of ways. I'm not gonna say anything about that because everybody has problems. My problems are much smaller than an average person's problems. I cannot complain about my life.”
