Laslo Djere claimed a maiden ATP 500 title earlier this year and ahead of the ATP Cup, he spoke on Novak Djokovic’s influence.
Djere said that he was sent a message by him when he reached the Top 100 and also previously called him to play doubles in Dubai when he was a relative unknown.
He called him a great guy and an inspiration to everyone who is involved on the Serbian ATP Cup team.
“We know each other and always say a few words when we see each other at tournaments... He sent me a message when I reached the Top 100 [of the ATP Rankings] and called me to play doubles with him at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, when I was nowhere close to the Top 100. He’s a great guy and an inspiration to all of us,” said Djere on Djokovic.
