That day, described by many as the best day of his life, Novak Djokovic entered history again. The Serbian tennis player, considered one of the greatest of all time, has taken a legendary stage: his 100th title on the ATP circuit. But what nobody expected was the special announcement he made at the end of the match, just before Roland Garros, who left the public speechless and made his wife cry, Jelena Djokovic.
The atmosphere was electric. Djokovic, 37, had just defeated a younger opponent in the final of the Masters 1000 in Rome with a mixture of experience, talent and fierce determination. The public got up to applaud while the champion lifted the trophy with a smile that said a lot.
But when he took the microphone to address the public and the millions of viewers around the world, no one could have imagined what he was going to say.
“Today, I am not only celebrating my 100th victory,” said Novak, the voice visibly moved. “Today, I also want to share something more personal, something that fills my heart with happiness. »»
The stadium fell into a silence of waiting.
“Jelena and me … Let’s be parents again. And this time, twins! She announced between tears and nervous laughter.
The cameras focused on Jelena in the stands, which could not contain his excitement. Covering her face, she melted into tears while the public burst into applause and cheers. Her reaction was so sincere that many began to wonder if she had been surprised by the news at this precise moment.
This moment of intimate and explosive joy shook the media and social networks, which began to fill in messages of celebrities, players, coaches and even historical rivals like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
However, not everyone understood exactly what was going on. On social networks, some foreign users, who did not understand Serbian or French subtitles well, thought that Djokovic retired from tennis. “Did he say that it would be his last tournament?” Some asked. “Do you say goodbye or announce your retirement?” The confusion has been briefly spread until it becomes clear that on the contrary, Novak clearly indicated that he was not retiring and that he would play Roland Garros with more motivation than ever.
“I’m here, always strong, always hungry. But my family is my best trophy, “he added, receiving a new standing ovation.
Djokovic, known for his emotional link with the public and his deep love for his family, managed to transform a professional victory in a human moment that transcended the borders of sport.
In the locker room, his teammates hugged him one by one. Carlos Alcaraz, one of his closest current rivals, was one of the first to congratulate him: “100 titles, this is something that I would never have imagined reaching in my career. And doing it by announcing that he expects twins … Novak is a real source of inspiration, “said the young Spaniard.
Sports commentators were quick to point out that this title Place Djokovic in a completely different league. With 100 titles, he joined a select group in the history of tennis, further consolidating his status as a legend.
And now, as Roland Garros approaches, the world wonders: Can Novak add another Grand Chelem to his collection during this same magical month?
For the moment, Djokovic seems to have no limits. With a full heart and a brighter smile than ever, the Serbian warrior showed that he still had a lot to give, on and off the field.
And while he is preparing to face the best in Paris, everyone knows that he is not only playing for trophies this time … He plays for his family, for love and for a story that continues to write to each step.
