Novak Djokovic says he will 'keep going' after US Open win<\/h3>\n

Novak Djokovic has been paying the bills of up-and-coming Serbian professional Hamad Medjedovic but the 20-year-old has lost more matches on the tour than he has won, despite claiming victory at the Mallorca Challenger in September. Madjedovic has spent two years on the tour as he looks to emulate his compatriot\u2019s career, but still has a long way to join him at the top of the sport.<\/p>\n

The world No 102 reached the semi-finals of the ATP 250 tournament in Astana last month to Sebastian Korda in a tiebreak and is in a strong position to qualify for the Next Gen Finals, but holds just a 7-9 win-loss record overall on the tour. He possesses a winning record this year, but likely would want to repay Djokovic\u2019s faith with more wins next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cNovak Djokovic\u2019s been helping me out financially,\u201d Medjedovic previously explained. \u201cGiving me whatever I need for my career. He covered it all. He just helped me out when I needed it and [is] still helping me out in all types of ways. I\u2019m glad he\u2019s there for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Djokovic has frequently looked to help budding Serbian tennis stars, having opened up the Novak Tennis Center in Belgrade 15 years ago and has also been a source of support to Medjedovic, calling the youngster after his Mallorca win.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you believe who was the first to congratulate me on my title \u2013 Novak,\u201d Medjedovic\u00a0said. \u201cWhen I picked up my phone, I saw his voice message lasting more than one minute. He is a legend because he is always available for advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Djokovic even spoke at length during his Wimbledon run about the young Serbian starlet, stating: \u201cIt was phenomenal \u2013 winning his first Challenger title coming from qualies is a huge result and I congratulated him. His jump in the rankings will mean a lot for the future. I have a lot of friends who are sort of stuck in that second tier of tennis \u2013 between Futures and 250s \u2013 it is hard to break through, but Hamad is now close to playing qualifiers for Grand Slam tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n
