Alexander Mitrovic is a prominent Serbian footballer known for his incredible goal-scoring prowess. He has undoubtedly made history as the highest goal scorer for his country, much like Novak Djokovic has done in the world of tennis. It’s evident that Mitrovic shares a strong bond with Djokovic, as he considers him like a brother.
Their shared nationality and achievements contribute to the camaraderie and mutual admiration for each other. In an appalling revelation, the footballer boldly declared that he was prepared to engage in a physical confrontation with his own Fulham club teammates over none other than this esteemed compatriot, Novak Djokovic!
Mitrovic, speaking on a talk show, emotionally disclosed that he was profoundly affected by Djokovic’s matches and recounted a harrowing incident during the epic Wimbledon final in 2019, where Djokovic faced off against Roger Federer. With emotions running high, Mitrovic and just one other Spanish keeper found themselves supporting Djokovic, while the remaining 30 players including the staff rallied behind Federer.
The tension was palpable, and Mitrovic admitted that the situation nearly erupted into a full-blown physical clash with his own club teammates and he revealed boldly “I was on the verge of fighting.” The passion for Djokovic burned within him, and he further revealed, “She’s cooking something in me…And now that people are saying something bad for Djokovic, I am ready to kill myself. I love him, brother.”
He further stated that Djokovic was a fair player but people always find some fault in him, which makes him upset. Yet, the more they insult him, the better he plays. The persistent criticism directed at Djokovic makes the Mitrovic bond with Djokovic even stronger.
When China’s teen prodigy, Yibing Wu practiced with Novak Djokovic
Chinese tennis prodigy, Yibing Wu, is aged 23 years and is a winner of the ATP 250 tour title. He had found his inspiration and guiding light in the legendary Novak Djokovic. Wu pours his heart out, revealing the admiration he holds for Djokovic.
Six years ago, a young and hopeful Wu, dreaming of making it to the grand stage of tennis, landed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to practice with none other than Djokovic himself, in Monte Carlo. That chance encounter set the stage for Wu’s incredible journey to greatness.
Even though Djokovic was in his offseason during that memorable practice, their practice was truly intense and the connection they forged was something extraordinary. Djokovic even spoke about China’s emerging tennis, a reflection that sports transcend borders and cultures.
Now, Wu has blossomed into a champion, making waves with his astounding world ranking of no. 90. He owes this to the invaluable lessons he learned from his time with Djokovic. To Wu, Djokovic is like a magician. Wu admires Djokovic’s ability to elevate simple things to a unique level like a wizard.
Despite recent health issues, including fainting during a match at Wimbledon and retiring in Washington, Wu’s rise in Chinese men’s tennis has been acknowledged and celebrated world over including Djokovic, who expressed his happiness for China’s success in tennis.
