Filip Krajinovic: 'I follow Novak Djokovic's advice'

In a press conference at the French Open Filip Krajinovic commented on the success of the Serbian tennis. Krajinovic, who lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in a four-set third round match on Saturday, said: "It's amazing that a small country like Serbia has so many good players, and so many No. 1's. Zimonjic was No. 1 in doubles. Jelena was No. 1 in women's singles. Ana won the French Open, No. 1. So we are small country. Very hard mentality, good mentality. We fight a lot. And then, of course, we have a big support from Novak. He's amazing, one of the best ever. So it's pleasure, and we are so proud to have him. And, of course, he give us advice. He went through all this situation like we are now. So we are very pleased and happy that we have Novak, of course."

On his relationship with Djokovic, Krajinovic added: "I'm close friends to him. And I never call him and say, I need help. I just -- if I need any advice, you know, I see him and I ask for advice. But I don't ask for the help, to be honest, just because I know there's so many thousands of people need help of him. And, you know, we are friends like normal friends. It's not that because he's No. 1 that's why I'm close to him. So it's not that point that, hey, please can you do something for me? No, I just -- if I need something, we have a normal conversation. And I don't ask anything for the help. I don't need it. I just follow advice in tennis, of course, yes, always. But for other thing, I don't need it really."
