Novak Djokovic is one of the biggest sporting heroes of Serbian and probably will go down in history as the best athlete from that country ever.
It's no wonder why his countrymen naturally gravitate to him anytime tennis is brought up as a topic. The sport itself does not enjoy overwhelming popularity in the country but in the past decade saw the interest in it explode mainly thanks to Djokovic and his continued historic success. More kids than ever have picked up a racquet in Serbia and Filip Krajinovic understands why.
Speaking about his Davis Cup teammate, Krajinvoic said:
"It has helped me out a lot. Back in Serbia, people follow tennis a lot because of Novak. The rest of us are second league, but they are still following. I always try and say I am a tennis player. If I need a reservation, I try to always have my tennis racquet next to me. I am hoping they know who I am. Serbia is a very small country, so we all know each other."
Djokovic has been key in Serbia's run to the Davis Cup semifinals delivering crucial points in several ties. In fact, Djokovic has been the only player that was able to win a singles match for his nation at this year's Davis Cup. All of Krajinovic, Lajovic, and Kecmanovic lost the matches they played.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
