"Yeah, she was not very happy about it, me being absent from the birthday party. Don't remind me of that, please, said Djokovic on Sunday, who became the oldest man to reach all four Grand Slam quarterfinals in a single season."
"I'll try to win if I'm here. At least I'm going to try to win and give her that kind of present, Djokovic said. I'm going to send some nice presents, as well, nice surprises for her birthday party."
"It definitely helps if you serve well. I think I had a great serving performance in the last round and also tonight, Djokovic said. I just saw the stats, I outserved one of the guys that had the most aces during the tournament this year, so that's a great stat. Obviously, that helps make my life"
