Deyo's son Stefan became Acre's fan brother, what was the reaction of the old father when he found out?

Days after the Monte Carlo Masters exit, Djokovic spoke about his son Stefan watching Alcaraz play during the event. Djokovic said he was very pleased to see his son's passion for tennis, and admitted that this passion has also become a source of motivation for him to continue to struggle.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion was caught in an early defeat to Tabilo in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters. However, in the subsequent semi-final between Alcaraz and Fokina, Stefan was caught in the stands.

On the official podcast of the Madrid Open, Djokovic was asked if he was pleased with his son's love for tennis, to which he replied: "Of course, very happy. Watching my son get excited to watch Alcaraz play and watch him imitate the movements of the players, he was passionate about it all. I can't say why, maybe it's in his DNA. He was so naturally attracted to tennis. ”

Djokovic further revealed that it is Stefan's passion that has helped him remain competitive in the professional arena at the age of 37. "This excitement and dedication is not only contagious to me, but also motivates my career. As we get older, it becomes more and more difficult to keep finding motivation and inspiration. And Stefan's love and passion, like a breath of fresh air, brings me new energy, so that I can continue to persevere and move forward. He added.

In recent years, Djokovic has been taking his family on tour more and more often, and his wife Elena, son Stefan and daughter Tara have often appeared in the stands to give him the strongest support. In the Men's Singles final at Wimbledon 2023, Novak Djokovic and Alcaraz battled out in five sets before the Spaniard came back from behind to win 1-6 7-6(6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 to claim the title.

After the race, during the traditional championship parade, Alcaraz met Stefan, Elena and Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman. In the face of the congratulations of the opponent's family, the atmosphere was warm and touching, and this moment also showed the moving power of sportsmanship.

Speaking at the medal ceremony, Djokovic said of Alcaraz: "I didn't expect him to play so well on grass this year, but he has proven to the world that he deserves to be the world number one. ”

Djokovic and Alcaraz have always had a sense of mutual respect. The two have met eight times so far, with Djokovic leading 5-3. Their most recent matchup took place in the quarterfinals of this year's Australian Open, where Djokovic emerged victorious.

Last week, Djokovic and his wife and son Stefan were at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium to watch Real Madrid's La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao.

That night, in the shouts of nearly 80,000 fans, Real Madrid won 1-0 thrilling with a stunner from Valverde in stoppage time! The passionate atmosphere on the pitch made Djokovic excited. Speaking after the game, he recalled: "We always wanted to have a goal at the whistle and it really came! Valverde's ball was so godly that it was awkwardly placed, but he still scored it. The audience of 80,000 people cheered together, and it was so shocking at that moment! ”

However, the most interesting thing is that Deyo also shared a small episode - at the very moment of the goal, 9-year-old Stefan happened to run backstage to buy drinks and snacks and missed the only goal of the whole game! Deyo said with a smile: "Stefan was waiting for this goal all the time, but he didn't see it when it happened, so in the later video, he was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on!" ”

Djokovic was beaten 3-6 4-6 by Analdi in his Madrid Masters debut last night to make it three defeats in a row for the second time this season.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Spark)
