Novak Djokovic has again captured the spotlight, but this time it’s not for his on-court dominance. Following his decision to withdraw from the Cincinnati Open after clinching Olympic gold, Djokovic recharged in Croatia with his family.
The Serbian star, known for his unending pursuit of excellence, decided to swap the tennis courts for the serene beaches of the Adriatic Sea. Raising both eyebrows and admiration as fans speculated on his fitness ahead of the US Open.
Djokovic’s Croatian getaway was seen to be packed with adventure. After attending a concert by renowned violinist Julian Rachlin on the island of Vrnik near Korcula, the world’s top tennis player spent time at Copacabana Beach in Babin Kuk, Dubrovnik.
The images shared from his time in the Adriatic Sea, along with reports of him engaging in adventure sports, suggest that Djokovic is in good spirits and also physically prepared for the challenges ahead.
This break comes at a crucial time for Djokovic, as he is set to be in Belgrade on August 13 for a special week of felicitation. Following this, his attention will shift to New York, where he will begin his preparations for the US Open, aiming to add another Grand Slam title to his collection.
