Novak Djokovic, fresh off his recent US Open campaign, has returned to Serbia to prepare for the nation’s Davis Cup clash against Greece. During his first training session, Djokovic took time to interact with his fans, signing autographs and handing out gifts, much to the delight of the crowd.
Despite his unexpected third-round exit at the US Open to Alexei Popyrin, the 24-time Grand Slam champion remained in high spirits as he geared up for the Davis Cup. The early exit provided Djokovic with extra recovery time, allowing him to focus on Serbia’s crucial match in Belgrade.
Set to take place on 14-15 September 2024 at the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, the hard indoor battle between Greece and Serbia is a high-stakes contest. The winner will earn a spot in the Davis Cup 2025 qualifying round, and Djokovic’s presence significantly boosts Serbia’s chances.
Djokovic, always known for his connection with his supporters, ensured that the training session wasn’t just about tennis but also about giving back to those who continually support him. As he handed out gifts and interacted with fans, the atmosphere was electrified, showcasing Djokovic’s enduring popularity.
Novak is always so kind to his fans.🫶
