Novak Djokovic has had all eyes on him ever since he posted a picture of taking a flight to the United States. The tennis star, on his road to experiencing amazing coincidences right from the start of his trip to Indian Wells, bumped into Rafael Nadal earlier on the same flight, and recently, his youth fandom showed up in big numbers to show their love.

Djokovic recently visited UCLA for his practice amid the preparations for the Indian Wells 2024. While the presence of the tennis star made noise, his young fans wasted no time to surround him.

Novak Djokovic meets his young fans at UCLA with ‘little to no’ security

Tennis star Novak Djokovic once again got his Indian Wells presence in the spotlight as he attracted a large gathering at UCLA during one of his practice sessions. Building the excitement for his upcoming appearance at Indian Wells 2024, the tennis star’s run for the title is highly anticipated by the fans. Despite his recent setback at the Australian Open, where he faced disappointment against Jannik Sinner, fans showed great respect and enthusiasm to witness the legend in action once again.

The stands quickly filled up with over 100 eager students as the word of the Serb’s presence got out. While everyone might think of a gathering managed by high security, it came out to be quite the opposite. It was a heartening sight to witness the tennis legend enjoying the support as the ‘people’s champ’ prepares for his victory.

As Djokovic gears up for Indian Wells, aiming for his sixth title at the prestigious tournament, he will not only be aiming at victory as this title could lead him to exceed the numbers that Roger Federer managed to hit in his career. While the win could mean a lot more than just this for him, his form still needs to be analyzed.

“can’t wait to come and perform” Djokovic excited for his return to Indian Wells after five years

The Indian Wells 2024 carries a very special magnitude for Novak Djokovic. While the tennis excluded the event from his schedule for quite a while, this participation marks his comeback to the prestigious courts of Southern California after five long years.

Being excited about his presence, Djokovic recently said, “It has been five years, way too long to not be part of the Tennis Paradise tournament, one of the best tournaments in the world without a doubt.”

Along with expressing his comeback excitement, the tennis star also explained the value of the tour. “It’s probably the favorite Masters tournament of so many players including myself. I can’t wait to come and perform once again in front of some of the best tennis fans that we have on the tour,” he added. As the Serbinator continues to captivate the attention of the fans, it still remains to be seen how far he managed to maintain his grip on the courts.
