Djokovic: I won’t court high life, despite win

AUSTRALIAN OPEN champion Novak Djokovic has vowed to keep his focus on the court after sealing his status as the new golden boy of tennis.

His four-set success over unseeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Melbourne on Sunday means the 20-year-old will return to Serbia a national hero, having secured the nation’s first grand slam singles title.

But Djokovic insists the lure of the celebrity lifestyle will not sidetrack him from his charge towards the summit of the men’s game.
