Novak Djokovic, the renowned tennis icon, faced disapproval from fans in Greece during a basketball match in his newly adopted country. Despite being a proud Serbian native, Djokovic surprised many by relocating his family to Athens earlier this year.
Apart from his exceptional tennis skills, Djokovic is an avid sports enthusiast, especially basketball, frequently seen supporting Serbian clubs like Red Star and Partizan. Recently, Djokovic attended a Euroleague game between Panathinaikos and Maccabi, where local fans expressed their discontent upon seeing him on the big screen.
Although neither of Djokovic’s supported teams played, the crowd’s boos were loud and noticeable. Djokovic, seemingly unfazed, remained focused on his phone, while his son Stefan acknowledged the crowd by flashing a peace sign.
Following the Panathinaikos event, Djokovic received a warmer reception at a different basketball match featuring Olympiacos against Monaco. Meanwhile, Panathinaikos emerged victorious against Maccabi, maintaining a close competition with Red Star in the rankings.
Despite the mixed reactions from fans, Djokovic’s attention now shifts to the upcoming ATP Finals in Turin, where he will compete against top players like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz. Anticipating a more supportive atmosphere, Djokovic aims to excel in the tournament despite concerns about his form and fitness.
