During his training, Djoker got so angry that he smashed his racquet really hard on the court. Even though fans have witnessed him smashing racquets before, he rarely does so during his training sessions. He hit it with so much power that the racquet broke into pieces and its frame was completely disoriented.

He kicked off his campaign in style after defending his Australian Open title yet again. Then, the Serbian legend played one of the best matches of his career so far and defeated Rafael Nadal in the semis of the French Open 2021. He eventually went on to win the title.
He continued his win streak at the Wimbledon Championships 2021 and defended his title there as well. Interestingly, he has earned the maximum ATP points by this time of the year and is on the top of the list. Many would even say he hasn’t had to bring his best tennis on the grass court this season.
