And please don’t get me wrong: happy wedding anniversary. I’m really sorry. If I had known that today was the anniversary, maybe the result (could have been different).
Jokes aside, Daniil was incredibly sweet and kind to me and my team. His coach, everything. It’s great to see your professional relationship with your coach develop. What you have achieved. And I know that you have much more to achieve in the coming years. You will undoubtedly win many more Grand Slams,” Djokovic said on court.
