2 Months After Roger Federer’s Regal Honor With Wife Mirka, Novak Djokovic Touted to Follow His Rival as Juicy Revelation Comes to Light

Novak Djokovic has been a legend in the game. With an impressive record of 24 grand slams to his name, the Serbian player is arguably one of the greatest the game has ever seen. Out of the 24 slams that he has earned, 10 have come at the Australian Open which is a record in itself. And to honor the achievement, authorities have come forward to give recognition to the record holder in Australia.

Roger Federer was recently given a standing ovation for his heroics at the Wimbledon. Replicating the honor that Federer received, Craig Tiley, the Director of the Australian Open, looks set to give tribute to the Serb.

Novak Djokovic could get a stadium named after him in Australia

Much like Federer’s iconic status at Wimbledon, Djokovic’s dominance at the Australian Open has been remarkable. And seeing the achievements on the hard courts of Australia, the Director of the Australian Open, Craig Tiley decided to honor the Serbian. This even included naming a stadium after him. However, he later revealed in the podcast that this is not as easy as it looks like.

“Ultimately the naming of the arena is not my decision or tennis Australia’s because we….a lot of people don’t really understand Wimbledon and the French and the US Open, they own the facility in which they run their events. We lease it and the Govt, the Victorian Govt owns our facilities and we lease the facilities from them and we are fortunate that they invest in those facilities but we don’t own them,” said Craig Tiley about naming the stadium after Novak.

This honor would definitely remark on the magic that Novak has brought throughout his career. With 10 AO titles already to his name, he will look to further extend his legacy on the hard courts, just like Roger Federer has his at Wimbledon.

With an impressive 8 Wimbledon title wins, and a total 20 grand slams, the Swiss legend retired back in 2022. However, this year, he made a surprise entry. He came to the grass courts for the first time, but as a spectator and not a player. The aura that Roger Federer along with his wife Mirka Federer brought in was impressive. The crowd gave them a lengthy standing ovation.

Thus, Australia to Novak is what Wimbledon to Roger is. With extraordinary success at their respective courts, they are bound to deserve credits. While Novak still continues to cause havoc, it will be interesting to see how many more titles he can win in Australia.
