Novak Djokovic's hilarious response to a HECKLING fan: Australian Open 2025

Novak, this was a very difficult opponent, but you played some very, very good tennis, and I'm apprehensive about this next question because I know what a perfectionist you are, but how did you feel about your game? I'm very hot-headed right now, so I'm going to try to give a very calm and diplomatic answer to that, but I think I played really well, honestly. I'm relieved. I'm very happy with my game. I was slightly surprised, to be honest, with the result, to beat him straight sets. He was a break-up early in the second, I struggled physically there, just somehow managed to turn things around, hold my serve when I needed to, just a couple of points really decided a second set that could have gone his way. Maybe the outcome of the match would be different, but overall, I think in the third, felt fresh, moved really well. Overall, very pleased with my game. Of course, there's always something to improve, always something to work on, but this is definitely the best match I've played in the tournament. I'm relieved because we all thought you played incredibly well today. Can you tell us what happened in the second set? What was going on physically? You were clearly unwell there. I was trying to catch my breath. I struggled. I'm not 19 anymore, I guess. You look 19. I'm 19 times 2, almost. You go through the two different stages in a match. Sorry, mate. I have a wife. We can have a drink, though. Maybe you had a few already. Him and I were going back and forth for quite a while, actually, since I've been ill. Should we set up a date? Listen, I'm happy to have a drink with him. Now that the match is over, I think we can reflect nicely on what we said to each other during the match. What were we talking about? I don't know. I really don't know. I think what was happening physically. Are you okay now? That's all we want to know. I guess one drink will solve everything that would happen physically. I won't keep you very much longer, but I assume you had maybe one drink after a big highlight in a career that was full of highlights last year. You won the gold medal for your country, for Serbia. You were always so loyal to Serbia. You played Davis Cup whenever you had the possibility, and you had to wait very long for that gold medal. I wonder what was going through your head the morning after when you saw the gold medal next to your bed. Well, you have a Serbian background, so you know how that feels. Representing our country is the highest honor. I'm sure most of the people in this world feel like that. Most of the athletes playing at the Olympic Games, seeing the best athletes in the world at the most important and oldest sports event in the history of sport is just something unforgettable. Honestly, I've been blessed to play five Olympic Games and had most heartbreaking losses at the Olympic Games. I managed to win the bronze medal back in 2008 in my first Olympic Games in Beijing. Ever since then, I couldn't make that step, one more step, to reach the finals and have a chance to fight for gold. In Paris, I thought this might be my last good chance to fight for gold, so I gave it all. It was a dream come true, definitely the highlight of my life on the tennis court, the amount of emotions and the intensity of emotions that I've lived on the court and having, of course, my family and closest people in my life there to witness it. It was just the peak of my career. We were very glad to witness the peak of your career and hopefully many more peaks to the fourth round. Novak, Germany.
