Remember tennis player/YouTuber Jules Marie? Well, it turns out Novak Djokovic knew all about his YouTube channel (!) and reached out to practice during the week of Australian Open qualifying (!!) They had a quick interview in French afterwards. Amazing gesture @DjokerNole 👏

Despite going through the rigors of preparing for the 2024 Australian Open, World No.1 Novak Djokovic took some time off to interact with YouTuber and longtime fan, Jules Marie prior to the Grand Slam event.
Marie is an aspiring tennis player from France who also runs a YouTube channel, with over 100,000 subscribers. The Frenchman made it to the Australian Open qualifiers, where he defeated compatriot and former World No.18 Benoit Paire in the first round before being eliminated in the next round of qualifying.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion was seen practicing with Marie in a video released to the latter's channel. The Serbian has in fact practiced with the Frenchman in the past, as Marie hit with the World No.1 prior to the 2021 French Open.
Following their most recent session, Djokovic gave a small interview in French. He acknowledged that he was aware of Marie's YouTube channel, before giving his predictions about the 2024 Australian Open. The 36-year old believed young players could make some noise at the tournament, and also spoke about his adoration for playing at Rod Laver Arena, saying that it feels like home.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
