Novak Djokovic secured Serbia’s win over China at the 2024 United Cup, and it was a perfect scenario for the team.
After the Serbian won his singles match, his teammate, Olga Danilovic faced a difficult task against Qinwen Zheng, and she lost the match in two sets, as the Chinese player forced decisive doubles.
In the mixed doubles match, Djokovic and Danilovic won, only seven minutes before the midnight and New Year, for which many fans in the stadium waited for.
Therefore, the 24-time Grand Slam champion and the Serbian team waited until the midnight and created a perfect memory for the fans at the stadium, doing the New Year’s countdown with them.
For Djokovic, it was a perfect end of the year, and great win to officially start the 2024 season. After the match, he spoke about how unpredictable it was that the match would end so close to the midnight and that he and the team would get to celebrate with the fans.
“Yeah, it was actually. I think for all of us really. It was a unique experience. We enjoyed it very much. What are the chances to finish seven minutes before New Year’s? It was perfect kind of scenario that we won.”
For Djokovic, it’s great to see Serbian fans all over the world, and it was no different in Australia, where he has many supporters, also because he managed to win 10 Australian Open titles in the country.
The Serbian appreciates the atmosphere, and he will hope that the fans will be able to power his country far at the United Cup, as he really wants to succeed while representing his country.
“Of course, a lot of Serbian flags present on the stadium. They all chose to celebrate the New Year’s with us. We’re grateful for that. A wonderful atmosphere.”
