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 👏
Selfless act from Novak Djokovic as 24-time Grand Slam champion makes special effort to meet YouTube player Jules Marie after qualifying
ATPFriday, 26 January 2024 at 08:00
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.
Video surfaces of Djokovic practicing with Marie in Melbourne
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.
