Djoković: "Federer's record is quite insignificant to me"

Novak Djokovic defeated Roman Safiullin 3&ndash;1 in sets and will now have two days to prepare for his next challenge.&ldquo;I spend much more time recovering now than ever before, that&rsquo;s what my body requires. I don&rsquo;t really enjoy it; it takes a lot of time, but it&rsquo;s part of the process and adapting to an older body in recent years. Throughout my career I&rsquo;ve always looked for the best technology: hyperbaric chambers, infrared therapy, ice baths&hellip; There are many things I&rsquo;ve used, and many I still use today,&rdquo; said Novak Djoković.&ldquo;Physically I&rsquo;m OK, but I didn&rsquo;t enjoy my game. He pressured me and played well. I struggled to find the level I had, especially in the second set. A win is a win, even if you win ugly.&rdquo;Novak Djokovic has surpassed Roger Federer in Wimbledon match wins, reaching 106 victories at the tournament.&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have it as a priority to equal Federer&rsquo;s record here. It&rsquo;s quite insignificant to me; I didn&rsquo;t even know about it until the previous match,&rdquo; said Novak Djoković.He also addressed his emotional reactions on court:&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not proud of it; it&rsquo;s not something I want, but when it happens&mdash;it happens. I don&rsquo;t think about it too much afterward; I move on to the next task.&rdquo;Reflecting on his long career, he added:&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve played many matches on the biggest stage, but my memory isn&rsquo;t the best these days. There have been many Slams where I had a tough match or two on the way to the title&hellip; I&rsquo;m a perfectionist, I always want to play my best for myself and the crowd, but that&rsquo;s not always possible, and sometimes it&rsquo;s hard to accept. I need to move on and be better next time.&rdquo;Novak Djoković will face the winner of the match between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the quarterfinals.
