In a moment that won over the hearts of tennis fans around the world, Novak Djokovic, the best world player, experienced a moving meeting that transcended sport. While going to a training session during a recent tournament, Djokovic accidentally dropped his wallet. An incident that could have been a minor annoyance finally transformed his life. A young boy found the wallet, returned him to the legend of tennis and left a hidden word there that made Djokovic cry, pushing him to say: “I did not believe my eyes! »»
History began an ordinary morning, when Djokovic, known for his flawless concentration and professionalism, was heading for training shorts. In the whirlwind of his busy schedule, he dropped without realizing his wallet, containing cash, maps and personal effects. Without the Serbian star noticing, the wallet remained on the ground until a young boy, whose identity remains unknown, remarks.
Rather than keeping the wallet or entrusting it to a stranger, the boy took it upon him to make sure that he is reaching his true owner. Witnesses say he approached the training field, where Djokovic was heating up, and gave the portfolio to a member of the player’s team. This act of honesty alone was remarkable, but what made this moment extraordinary is what Djokovic discovered inside.
After receiving his wallet, Djokovic opened it to check the content and discovered a piece of folded paper inside. The word, written with a child writing, contained such a touching message that he frozen the 24 times winner of Grand Slam. If the exact content of the message has not been fully disclosed, sources close to Djokovic revealed that he expressed his admiration for his resilience and his gratitude for the inspiration he brings to young fans.
One sentence in particular touched it: “You taught me never to abandon, even in difficult times. For Djokovic, a player with multiple challenges, on and outside the court, this simple message from a young supporter was overwhelming. “I didn’t believe my eyes,” he said the broken voice later, telling this moment. “This boy didn’t only return my wallet to me; He gave me something much more precious. »»
Known for his composure under pressure, Djokovic was visibly moved when reading the message. Witnesses described him interrupting his training, sitting down and wiping tears. The tennis star, who conquered the hearts of millions of people by her tenacity and her charisma, was speechless in front of the boy’s gesture. His team stressed that it was rare to see Djokovic as openly moved, highlighting the deep impact of the moment.
Djokovic would have spent several minutes to think about this note before resuming training. Later, in a brief statement to the press, he expressed his gratitude: “That’s why I play; Not only for titles, but for moments like this which remind me of the link that unites us with fans, especially the youngest. The words of this boy will remain engraved in my memory forever. »»
The news of the incident has spread like a trail of powder on social networks, fans and other players welcoming the boy’s honesty and the sincerity of his message. The hashtag #djokovicnote made the buzz on X, the users sharing their own testimonies of kindness and inspiration from Djokovic’s career. “This is sport: connect people, change lives,” a fan wrote. Another added: “This boy is a hero, and Novak’s reaction shows how sincere he is. »»

The ATP circuit shared a publication on X, calling it “recalling the power of the kindness and the impact of sport beyond the court”.
Djokovic has since expressed the wish to meet the young man and to thank him personally. The tournament organizers would contribute to efforts to identify the young supporter, although the boy’s family has not yet been manifested publicly. Djokovic has promised to invite the boy and his family to one of his games, ensuring that their gesture of generosity is greeted.
