Novak Djokovic had a classy message for Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal after Wimbledon win

Respect.

Novak Djokovic won his sixth Wimbledon title on Sunday with a four-set (6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3) victory over Matteo Berrettini in front of a sold out crowd at Centre Court.

This was Djokovic’s third straight Grand Slam title and has him in position to become the first player to win a calendar-year Grand Slam since Rod Laver did it in 1969 when the US Open begins in late August.

The win also pushed him into a tie with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for the most Grand Slam titles in history with an amazing 20 titles. It’s wild that we have three current players with that many major titles.

That wasn’t lost on Djokovic, who had this to say about Federer and Nadal after his win:

“I have to pay a great tribute to Rafa and Roger. They are legends of our sport and they are the two most important players that I’ve ever faced in my career. They are I think the reason that I am where I am today. They have helped me realize what I need to do in order to improve get stronger mentally, physically, tactically.”

That was some classy stuff from Djokovic.

Young fan has adorable reaction after being gifted Novak Djokovic’s French Open-winning racket

A lovely moment between Novak Djokovic and this adorable young fan.

Novak Djokovic stunned the tennis world on Sunday after coming back from a two-set deficit to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas for the French Open title, his 19th major men’s singles title in his career. Djokovic also made this young tennis fan’s day with the gift of a lifetime.

Mere moments after winning the French Open, his second Grand Slam title of the year, Djokovic passed off his game-winning racket to a young fan in the stands, who was ecstatic to receive such a gift from the No. 1 ranked tennis player in the world.

It’s a must-see reaction that will warm any fan’s heart at seeing such unbridled joy.

What a moment! When asked after the match about the fan and his gift, Djokovic stated that while he didn’t know the young boy, he had heard him shouting encouragements and tactics while he was down two sets earlier in the day.

“I don’t know the boy, but he was in my ear the entire match, especially when I was two sets down. He was encouraging me and he was actually giving me tactics as well…

He was coaching me, literally, and so I found that very cute and very nice. I felt like to give the racquet, the best person was him. That was kind of my gratitude to him for sticking with me and supporting me.”

Talk about a great way for Djokovic to cap off the weekend, especially after coming off the heels of stunning Rafael Nadal in the French Open semifinals as well. An unforgettable gift for sure!

Fuen un encuntro maratónico épico que duró cuatro horas y 11 minutos con Djokovic impactando al “Rey de la Arcilla” en un triunfo de 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-2. Djikovic ganó los últimos seis juegos del partido, quebrando a Nadal en varias ocasiones, incluyendo el último juego por el triunfo. Ahora enfrentará a Stefanos Tsitsipas en la final el domingo.

Fue un magnífico encuentro entre dos de los “Big Three” del tenis varonil, conforme peleaban ferozmente por cada punto. El tercer set por sí solo duró como 90 minutos, y Djokovic ganó al romper un empate.

Traducción: “Uno de los mejores juegos de tenis que he presenciado”. Djokovic gana un increíble desempate sobre Nadal en el Abierto de Francia.

A pesar de tener 13 victorias en el Abierto de Tenis, la derrota de Nadal el viernes fue solo su tercera en un torneo de Grand Slam, y esta es la primera vez en su carrera que pierde después de alcanzar una semifinal en el Abierto de Francia. El recórd en la carrera de Nadal en Roland-Garros ahora es 105-3, mientras que Djokovic se convirtió en el primer jugador en derrotar a la estrella de la cancha de arcilla dos veces.

Traducción: Ha completado la hazaña más difícil de nuestro deporte no una, sino dos veces. @DjokerNole derrota a Rafael Nadal 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 para preparar un encuentro final con Tsitsipas.

Fue uno de los mejores juegos de tenis en la historia, y los fans de todo el mundo, uncluyendo varios jugadores y otros atletas, no podían con la emoción de este partido.

It was an epic marathon match that lasted four hours and 11 minutes with Djokovic stunning the “King of Clay” with a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-2 win. Djokovic won the last six games of the match, breaking Nadal several times, including in the final game for the win. He’ll face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final Sunday.
