Novak Djokovic has finally given some positive news regarding his participation in the ATP tour. Just a few days ago, he confirmed that he’ll play in Paris, Turin, and the Davis Cup. Recently, a fan shared a video of her and 20-time Grand Slam champion training together. Djokovic was seen hitting some shots and having some laughs with the fan in Belgrade.
In comparison with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Djokovic hasn’t always been a fan favorite. However, following this video, many fans across the world have evidently noticed the selfless side of the Serb.
Novak Djokovic takes to the training courts with a fan
Recently, Novak Djokovic returned to Belgrade for training. During his training, Djokovic was seen knocking balls with a random fan at the tennis court. The pair shared laughs and smiles together. After the match, “So, who’s the GOAT”, the fan asked the World No.1.
To this, Djokovic jokingly replied,” Officially you’re the GOAT. No, Your T-shirt is the GOAT.” The fan was wearing a T-shirt with Djokovic’s name imprinted on it. Definitely, Djokovic has a great sense of humor.
An honour of a lifetime.
A privilege.
A dream come true.
Today, I played tennis with @DjokerNole in Belgrade,
and it’s been one of the best days of my life so far.
Thank you so much, Novak. @jelenadjokovic @NovakFanClub #Djokovic

Following this video getting viral, fans across the world shared their opinions about Novak Djokovic. Djokovic, who is sometimes perceived as an arrogant player, certainly went a long way towards changing that image.
A tweet read, “Few players of his stature are more aware of how much does this kind of things mean for his fans. Bravo @DjokerNole and @NDjokofan, so amazing to watch.”

Hopefully, the additional unique training will mean that Nole is back to his best when he returns to the court after the unfortunate result at US Open 2021.
