Novak Djokovic Reveals Why He Wears Two Necklaces?
Ahead of the match, Novak Djokovic made a huge revelation about an aspect which has no relation to his Tennis career. Djokovic paid heed to one of the most sought-after queries that fans often ruminate about, why he wears two necklaces?
“I have two necklaces that I wear with me all the time. One is the cross, a connection to Orthodox Christianity. Very important to me. Another necklace resembles the tennis ball and is also symbolic of the planet. It has a symbolic connection to my travelling and my sport. Once you open it, the pictures of my family – my wife, me and my son, my daughter, and our doggies. Extremely important necklace to me,” he expressed.
Djokovic added that the keepsake reminds him that his family is always there with him. “I open this necklace up every day, and I kiss every member of my family. I kind of know that they are always with me even if we are not physically together. So, I wear all these all the time,” shared Djokovic.
Djokovic's sentimental revelation has resonated with fans worldwide, offering a glimpse into the personal life of the tennis superstar. As he prepares to face Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals, Djokovic's emotional connection to his necklaces serves as a reminder that even the world's top athletes have personal motivations and inspirations that drive them to succeed. With his family close to his heart, literally and figuratively, Djokovic will undoubtedly be fueled by love and determination as he strives to claim his 25th Grand Slam title.
