Tennis icon Novak Djokovic faced a less than favorable reception during a basketball game in Greece, where he recently moved with his family. Despite being a proud Serb, Djokovic decided to establish a new residence in Athens, showcasing his passion not only for tennis but also for basketball, a sport he has long been enthusiastic about.
Local fans took notice when Djokovic attended a recent Euroleague match between Panathinaikos and Maccabi, where he was captured on the arena’s big screen alongside his son Stefan. The crowd’s reaction was mixed, with boos resonating throughout the stadium, even though neither of Djokovic’s supported teams was playing.
Despite the negative response, Djokovic appeared unfazed, engrossed in his phone during the incident, while his son acknowledged the crowd with a peace sign. The following day, Djokovic received a warmer welcome at another basketball game, where fans cheered his presence at the stadium.
In the upcoming weeks, Djokovic is set to participate in the ATP Finals in Turin, facing tough opponents like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz. Amid concerns about his form and fitness, Djokovic remains a top contender in the tournament, expected to garner a more positive reception from the crowd in Turin.
