Novak Djokovic for Eurovision? Nole shows off vocal skills while his son Stefan wins his first-ever tournament
It was a week to remember for the Djokovic family as the patriarch Novak Djokovic won the Italian Open while young Stefan Djokovic won his maiden tennis title.
World No 1 Djokovic won his first trophy of 2022 as he finished his French Open preparations with a sixth trophy in Rome and a record-extending 38th Masters 1000 title.
During the trophy presentation, the 34-year-old decided to serenade fans at Foro Italico by singing along to Go West, originally done by the Pet Shop Boys.
We are not sure he is good enough to replace Konstrakta, who finished fifth at this year’s Eurovision, at the 2023 edition.
But there were double celebrations for the Djokovic household as his seven-year-old son Stefan won his first-ever tennis tournament on Sunday.
“My son actually won the tournament. It’s a sunshine double today,” the Serbian told reporters.
He added: “We had a chat the last few days about the routines and the things he should do before a match and leading him into this world… The first official tournament or match always stays very fondly in your memory. We just spoke and he was on cloud nine with all the family. It was nice.
“He’s doing really well so far, he’s in love with the sport. He was up late last night and he was showing me forehands and backhands and how he was going to move, playing shadow tennis. I used to do that as a kid.”
