Novak Djokovic continues to expand his legend in world tennis. Last Sunday he was crowned champion of the US Open, after beating Daniil Medvedev in straight sets, and achieved his 24th Grand Slam, widening his gap in relation to the other two greats, such as Rafael Nadal, who has 22, and Roger Federer, who accumulates 20. In addition, he equaled Margaret Court, as the most winners.
Reason why the reactions did not wait. Proof of this was what happened upon his arrival in Serbia. There, thousands of people received him as a hero, with applause, flags, cheers and cries. Now, he wasn’t the only one. Everything happened in a context in which they also recognized the performance of the Serbian Basketball Team, who was runner-up in the World Cup.

Let us remember that this team lost to Germany in the final, but, in the same way, it was a historic result. For this reason, the basketball players, along with Novak Djokovic, were seen as their idols, who were not denied a single applause. The setting was spectacular and it was impossible not to be moved. Just look at the reaction of ‘Nole’, who couldn’t hold back his tears.
Through social networks, several videos went viral in which Novak Djokovic was seen crying profusely. Immediately, the others present did not hesitate to hug him and make him feel the warmth for the occasion, in order for him to calm down a little. This worked and the party continued. Everything is joy in Serbian sports, thanks to basketball and tennis, currently.
