Novak Djokovic is in the spotlight again, this time not for his on-court brilliance but for his linguistic skills. It is believed he can speak and understand up to 11 languages, and he recently showed off this talent by speaking to a Spanish media outlet after his Olympic gold medal win against Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic, with his usual charm, talked about what he told Alcaraz after the match, saying he joked that he thanked Carlos for letting him win the gold. He added that the Spaniard is young and has plenty of chances to win many golds for Spain.
La rivalidad queda en la pista y los grandes saben reconocerse entre ellos.
