New York: Novak Djokovic tipped his hat to Serena and Venus Williams ahead of their 27th career meeting but admitted Sunday he would find it impossible to play his own brother. <img title="Novak Djokovic" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/sep/8Novak-Djokovic-1.jpg" alt="Novak Djokovic" /> Novak Djokovic&nbsp;
The World number one has two tennis-playing younger brothers &mdash; 24-year-old Marko and Djorde, who's 20. Both play on the sport's lower-level tours, which suits Djokovic just fine.
That's a luxury which neither Serena nor Venus can afford and they clash again today for a place in the US Open semi-finals with Serena chasing a calendar Grand Slam.
"The first thing that comes to my mind is how would I feel to play my brother, and I don't think that would be possible, honestly," said Djokovic after reaching his 26th Grand Slam quarter-final Sunday in New York.
"In a way I admire what they're doing for so many years to play against each other on such a big stage. It's strange. They are sisters. They live together.
They grew up together playing tennis. But I don't know if I'll be able to play my brother. It's not possible. I would not be able to handle it."
