Djokovic, who had 22 Grand Slam titles to his name before entering this year’s French open, shares a positive relationship with 7x Super Bowl champion Tom. In fact, a couple of years ago, Djokovic had revealed to the Serbian media that he often consults Brady regarding recovery and training.
Tom Brady cheers for Novak Djokovic at French Open finals
Known for being the finest in his field, Tom, who called it quits earlier this year, was spotted sitting in Novak Djokovic’s box during the French Open Men’s Singles final. In fact, Brady was seen conversing with Novak’s wife Jelena, which really amused Tennis fans worldwide.
As one can expect, Twitter went absolutely crazy as soon as the Brady visuals from Philippe Chatrier court dropped. Reacting to it, a user wrote, “GOAT watching another GOAT, 23rd Grand Slam win is guaranteed.” Many predicted that as the champion QB is out there to support him, Novak is surely going to walk away with the trophy tonight.
As it turns out, fan prediction that Djokovic’s win is guaranteed might come out true as he has started off excellently in the finale. After allowing Casper an early break, Novak made a magnificent come back to clinch the first set in the tie-breaker. Needless to say, not only Novak, but Nadal fans would be closely following this game as if the Serb wins today, he will leave the Spaniard behind in the race to maximum Grand Slam wins in Men’s Singles.
Tom Brady’s longevity has greatly inspired Novak Djokovic
Djokovic, who came agonizingly close to calling it quits when his allergic asthma problem was starting to severely affect him, draws a lot of inspiration from Tom Brady, who stayed on top of the game for a very long time. Novak not only successfully defeated the problem with dietary and training changes, he even went on to establish himself as one of the greats of the game.
Indeed, Tom, with whom Novak has had a lot of chats regarding training and diet, must have played a huge role in keeping the fire alive in the Serb. This why, when Tom had announced his first retirement last year, Djokovic had taken to Instagram to congratulate him for an astounding career.
“Absolute legend! Thank you for all the inspiration, Tom Brady,” Novak had written. However, Brady un-retired in a matter of weeks, giving Novak another chance to thank him for inspiring millions around the world.
