Novak Djokovic has just won his 18th slam at the Australian Open after a rather tribulating stint Down Under. In the beginning, the world no.1 had to overcome some unfair criticism about him wanting to help the tennis players struggling with the quarantine. Later Djokovic had to cope with a nasty abdominal injury during his successful quest for the Australian Open title.
Missing the family
Novak Djokovic has often expressed his discomfort about traveling with his family during the pandemic. This is also one of the reasons why there are doubts about his participation in the upcoming Miami Open.
However, Novak had a lovely surprise when back in Europe as his wife and children celebrated Djokovic’s 18th slam with a “work of art” on a tennis court.
