Novak Djokovic (1st ATP) started the current season very poorly. The Serbian tennis player recorded two victories and one defeat in the United Cup. He didn’t play the best at the Australian Open, but he reached the semifinals, where he lost to Jannik Sinner (3rd ATP) 1:6, 2:6, 7:6(8-6), 3:6. After that loss, the Serb returned to the court almost two months later in Indian Wells. Effect? Defeat in the third round against Luca Nardi (96th ATP) 4:6, 6:3, 3:6. At the end of March he decided to take a radical step. He then announced that he would no longer train with Goran Ivanisevic.

Novak Djokovic showed class before the interview
Djokovic has been in Monaco for several days, where the ATP Masters tournament in Monte Carlo is starting. Shortly after arriving in this country, the best tennis player in the world began intensive training, while also giving interviews. One of them received wide coverage both on social media and in the foreign press. Not because of the player’s statements, but because of the attitude he showed before starting the conversation with the journalist.
The 36-year-old gave Alize Lim, a former French tennis player and currently a reporter for “Eurosport”, a jacket and thus saved her from the cold. “I was lucky to be with Novak, who behaved like a true gentleman. It was cold where we conducted the interview, although many people think it is warm,” Lim revealed.
Information about Djokovic’s behavior appeared on social media and was commented on by Internet users. “Chivalry”, “It was forever, and he is a gentleman” – we read.
During the conversation, Djokovic was asked, among others: about the upcoming tournament and preparations for the second Grand Slam of the season. – Roland Garros is one of the biggest tournaments in tennis and winning this tournament is my biggest goal on clay. This year, that doesn’t change. I hope I will give my best in Paris. I hope that I will be able to surprise myself and get back on track at the tournament in Monte Carlo, because it is my second home. My children were born here. (…) I am one of the players who needs more time to get used to clay.
