'All of a sudden I became the villain of the world.” 9News
"All of a sudden I became the villain of the world which is obviously a terrible position to be in as an athlete."
"The traces followed for several months after and I didn't know it was going to affect my game and the way I play. It was not easy for me mentally to regroup and restart again. "There were two or three more people that came into Australia 10 days before I did with exactly the same exemption that I had and I was just following the rules.
"I obviously wanted to stay here and play tennis, but at some point with the amount of craziness going around I just wanted to get out and go back home."Djokovic claimed that the media had "picked on me big time" when discussing the impact of the saga on his overall legacy.
