Novak Djokovic is celebrating his Paris Olympics gold medal in Croatia with his wife Jelena. In honor of his triumph, a pair of musicians planned an ‘impromptu concert’ for the Serbian tennis star and he also tried his hands at the viola.
In a celebratory mood, Djokovic is visiting the island of Vrnik, near Korčula, in the south of Croatia with his wife. At a church, musician pair of Julian Rachlin and Sarah McElravy organized an ‘impromptu concert’ to commemorate the tennis icon’s triumph in Paris.With some guidance, Djokovic also tried his hand at McElravy’s 1785 Lorenzo Storioni viola. A video of the Serb playing the strings along with Rachlin was posted by the latter on his Instagram. He captioned the reel:
In his fifth attempt at the Olympics, Djokovic was able to go the distance and win the elusive singles gold medal. He had reached the semifinal thrice in his previous four attempts but lost on all three occasions. His best finish at an Olympics was a bronze medal.However, at 37, Novak Djokovic had made it his mission to win gold. He accomplished it by getting the better of Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the final at the Court Philippe-Chatrier.
After his win over Alexei Popyrin in the third round at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Novak Djokovic played an imaginary violin using his racquet as a celebration.
