4-year-old Novak Djokovic received his first tennis racquet as a birthday gift
A video clip of Novak Djokovic receiving his very first tennis racquet has gone viral in no time and left drooling over the adorable Serbian. 4-year-old Djokovic received it as a birthday gift.
Novak Djokovic lost the Serbia Open final to Andrey Rublev earlier today. Djokovic is struggling to find his touch and has had a very underwhelming 2022 so far. The Serbian has missed multiple top-rated tournaments this year due to his vaccination status which even saw him lose his No.1 spot to Daniil Medvedev for a brief period. However, he is back as the World No.1 but has failed to do justice to his ranking in the tournaments he played. Earlier this year, Djokovic participated in the Dubai Tennis Championships as the top seed but lost in the quarter-finals to unseeded Jan Vesely.
The Serbian was then out of action from the ATP tour for two months after he was not allowed to participate in the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open for not being vaccinated against Covid-19. Playing after a gap of two months, Djokovic failed to find his rhythm in the Monte Carlo Masters and suffered a shock exit after a loss in his very first match against the unseeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Djokovic would look to find his rhythm and gain some positive momentum ahead of the French Open. Djokovic is the defending Roland Garros champion and would want to make a statement in the second Grand Slam of the year, starting later in May.
Fans on social media are drooling over the adorable clip.
“The making of a great champion and human being. Look at his happiness. There is no bound to happiness. It is very similar to how one kid was out of the world after receiving the winning racket from novak at the french open last year”, tweeted a fan.
Another overwhelmed fan tweeted, “Little Novak but already with that special magic some are born with… You can see the tennis champion and the very unique and genuine personality he is today… Sooo cute!”
“The tennis racket is almost as big as him. So adorable but who would imagine that little baby would be one of the fiercest men on the tennis court”, wrote another user.
