Novak Djokovic gave his racket to his “coach” after the Triumphan.
A young fan captured Novak Djokovic's heart on the way to victory in the French Open final. The Serb then gave him his tennis racket after his second triumph at the Stade Roland Garros. “I had him in my ear the whole time. He even gave me tactical tips,” said the world number one after the final against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, which Djokovic won 6: 7 (6), 2: 6 in Paris on Sunday , 6: 3.6: 2.6: 4 won.
“He practically coached me,” said the 34-year-old with a smile after his 19th Grand Slam title. “I thought that was very sweet and very nice. He was the best to give him the bat,” explained the family man. “I wanted to show him my gratitude because he believed in me and supported me all along.” The little fan, who was sitting near the players' benches, couldn't believe his luck after Djokovic handed him his bat and jumped around for joy.
