French Open: Novak Djokovic Aims for Young Serbian Hamad Medjedovic’s B**t in Hilarious Scenes Post Practice

There is hardly anything, where Djokovic can’t excel. In his recent practice session, this world’s number-one ATP star tried his luck on a French classic ball game with a junior. While Djokovic as usual excelled in his attempt, his hilarious response to his opponent left the fraternity rolling on the floor laughing.

A Reddit user shared a clip, where fans spotted the world’s number one tennis player Novak Djokovic playing Petanque with Medjedovic after their practice session for Rolland Garros. In an entertaining mode, the Serb conquered his victory pretty decently, leaving Hamad Medjedovic to go through a bizarre yet funny punishment. The Serbian tennis God threw tennis balls at Medjedovic’s back making the entire clip a funny ride for fans ahead of Paris’s clay major.

Now, Pentaque is a French outdoor game that has similarities with Bocce. In this game, players need to toss metal balls and set them free as close as possible to a small wooden ball, which is the target. While Djokovic and Medjedovic used ordinary tennis balls for the game, fans were delighted to see the Serb enjoying the classic French ball game at Roland Garros.

Djokovic’s funny banter with Medjedovic showcases their bond. After the young Serbian’s magnificent entry to the tour with a victory over Geoffrey Blancaneaux by 6-2 and 6-2, he received Djokovic’s support. “I trained with him [Djokovic] the day before I came here. We didn’t play a set in training, or points, but if we did, he would have won for sure, For his birthday yesterday we were texting, he congratulated me on my matches here. We’re always keeping in touch and we have had a great relationship for years” said Medjedovic.

This young Serbian tennis player further expressed his admiration for the world’s number-one ATP star as he mentioned how Djokovic has no limits. “It’s unexplainable what he’s still doing, it feels like he’s from another planet. He’s 37, playing like he’s 25, it’s crazy. But we all know Novak, he has no limits” said Hamad.

While Medjedovic is in awe to receive the tennis legend’s support, Djokovic also revealed how he admires Medjedovic’s hard work and recent improvements.

Novak Djokovic feels “fantastic” to see Hamad Medjedovic’s success

Closeness with Novak Djokovic must have been rewarding for Hamad Medjedovic as he often speaks about Djokovic’s brilliance. However, the world’s number-one tennis star also feels enthralling seeing Medjedovic’s recent achievements. “It’s fantastic to see his recent achievements, He’s been playing really well in the last year or two years, maturing a lot, I think as a player, but as a person as well. The work that he’s putting in is paying off. Everyone who was around him in the past five plus years, we all knew that the talent is there, the potential is there” – said Djokovic during the United Cup tour.

Djokovic also revealed his affection for this junior from his country. Praising his recent achievements and his coach, Djokovic showed that as a great senior, he won’t stop supporting Medjedovic’s attempt to establish a reputation in professional tennis.

“He’s still very young, so he still has plenty of time ahead of him. But the recent success in Jeddah made me very happy. I’m very happy. He’s been someone that I tried to be close to mentor, help in any possible way support, and I’m really glad that he’s also working and being coached by Viktor Troicki, who is my childhood friend, former No. 12. Someone that has tremendous experience in life and tennis” – said Djokovic.

Djokovic’s take on Pentaque with Medjedovic channels how supportive he is of young and talented tennis players. Despite his unimaginable glory in tennis, Djokovic’s humble and light-hearted mood reveals why he is one of the most loved tennis players to the fraternity.
