In the midst of the French Open, tennis star Novak Djokovic decided to have a seat and little chat with a ball boy.
During a recent French Open match, tennis star Novak Djokovic decided to have a seat and little chat with a ball boy. Djokovic is the type of man who likes to win and takes a diehard, determined approach to the game of tennis, but his recent interaction with the ball boy gives a glimpse into a lighter side of his personality.
In the midst of his opening round match against Joao Sousa, the game was temporarily suspended due to rain. During the break while Djokovic was seated on his bench, he motioned to the ball boy holding his umbrella to sit down and join him.
Djokovic put his arm around the obviously thrilled young man and grabbed the umbrella. The tennis star then handed him his racket, symbolizing a switch in the typical roles.
The two males sat side by side, both smiling and talking for the duration of the break. The crowd cheered during the interaction, showing their delight at having the privilege of seeing how down to earth Djokovic is when not playing.
The lighthearted rest period seemed to be a good thing for Djokovic, as he went on to win the match.
