Novak Djokovic wowed everyone in Madrid at the Laureus Awards on Monday, where he was named the world’s best athlete for the fifth time. In the competition of inimitable aces, Leo Messi, Max Verstappen and others, Djokovic again received great recognition, and then he gave a speech that the hall listened to in silence. Jelena Djokovic was filming, and Rafael Nadal was listening with his mouth open.
After the spectacle, Novak Djokovic was also in a great mood in the “mix zone”, where he talked to journalists and did not refuse anyone for an interview. One Spanish journalist, Isma Suarez from Mallorca, was left delighted by Nolet’s gesture, which he had not seen from his compatriots, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz.
“Rookies please, can you… I’m new to tennis, I’m new,” the Spaniard called Novak and gave him a headband, which Nole put on and signed. “From now on I am a Serb,” he said, and in the video attachment he played the Serbian national anthem “God’s Justice”.
“Alcaraz passed by and ignored me, Nadal passed by and ignored me. You know who was the only one who didn’t ignore me? Novak Djokovic. And there you have it, I’m from Serbia!” shouted an enthusiastic Isma into the camera. Check out his attachment:
