In this latest episode of GOOD TROUBLE with Nick Kyrgios, Nick sits down with the one and only, Novak Djokovic. The two discuss their history and how in 2021, the two were able to bury the hatchet. Novak shares how his tennis journey began in Serbia during a war torn time in the country's history. The 24x Grand Slam champion provided insights into how he stays motivated given all his success in the sport while also revealing the hurdles he faces. Towards the end of the conversation, Nick had to ask Novak about the GOAT conversation in tennis. His answer was nothing but class. A truly one of one conversation. This podcast was recorded live in January of 2024 at Rod Laver Arena.
