Novak Djokovic is built differently! There is no doubt whether it is his determination on the court or his personality that impresses people off the court. While he knows how to handle things on the athletic front, on the other hand, his priorities in life are quite different, and the way he has kept his family and friends above all is just amazing.

However, do you know there was a time when Djokovic put everything on pause and spent time with Siniša Mihajlović during his crucial time? Recently, the former football player’s brother shared a heartwarming tale of the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s personality that will make your heart melt.

As a tennis fan, you might have seen the aggressive side of the Serbian tennis player on the court. But do you know that there is a friendly side to him? Siniša Mihajlović and Djokovic have been good friends for a long time. Last year, just before his demise, he was there by his friend’s side. Now, almost a year later, his brother opened up about how the world number one tennis player left his family behind to be his friend.

He said, “One person, perhaps no one, can be next to the one who is being treated for such diseases. And Nole, I think he was traveling to Spain and he landed in Bergamo on that way to Spain, he left his family, his wife and children waiting on the plane while he went to Sinisha in the hospital. That’s another thing that really speaks to Novak’s greatness as a man.” 

Dražen Mihajlović also talked about how, rather than worrying about the disease, the 36-year-old tennis titan was so down to her that it was just unbelievable. This was the first time he met Djokovic, and he was quite shocked looking at how, even though he had a flight to Spain, where his family was, he took some time for his brother.

However, this is not the first time someone has talked about the 24-time Grand Slam Champions’ humble and kind nature off the tennis court. Earlier this year, another humane side, also unveiled as a soul-stirring confession, came to light.

When Djokovic pulled a humane move for a fan 

A few months ago, a little fan of the Serb shared a heartwarming tweet in which he revealed a surprise act when he paid a visit to the fan’s house, leaving the whole tennis world in awe. The young fan talked about how the world’s number-one-ranked tennis player deserves the best.

Along with that, he also described his personality in the caption. He wrote, “By coming to my humble home, you have shown me respect as you do to your own brothers.” These remarks presented an entirely different viewpoint on how Djokovic differs greatly from his supporters. The Nole fan also sent him some incredible photos of himself grinning broadly, as he had the best chance to meet his idol in tennis.
