Serbia’s greatest tennis player of all time, his tennis majesty Novak Djokovic, will participate in the Davis Cup once more, but this time in front of his home supporters.
Novak revealed that he can’t wait to do an open training session in front of that audience.
“I am looking forward to the fact that we will have an open training, to see people and that they can see us in a relaxed environment. These are rare opportunities to be able to train in Pionir (venue), the temple of basketball. The place where the last Davis Cup was held, where I played. People follow sports, they love tennis, there is a culture of tennis in the city and the country for the last 20 years. There are results and people appreciate it, so I hope they will come today too,” said Djokovic.
He believes that the tennis culture in Serbia has risen to a completely higher level.

“My subjective feeling is that people follow a lot when competitions are held in Serbia, but they also follow competitions around the world. What is beautiful pleases us, we all want it, for as many people as possible to follow. Nice, global sport, lots of people. Like any other, it is difficult, especially since it is an individual sport, everything depends on you, that is quite cruel. We have success at the world level that inspires the young generation to get active, to be interested in tennis and to play it. Since it is a global sport, you have the opportunity to promote your country,” he added.
He was asked what the plans would be going forward…
“I don’t have any plans, only in the Davis Cup. I really just want to enjoy it because depending on the format and how things unfold in the coming years, maybe this is the last Davis Cup in front of the domestic audeince, so I’ll enjoy it,” concluded Djokovic.
