Novak Djokovic is enjoying his time off the tennis courts by staying home and indulging in some fun with his kids. With the Tour suspended at least until June 7, tennis players have a ton of free time on their hands and many are taking to social media to connect with their fans.
The ATP and WTA suspended the tennis Tour after it became apparent that it was not viable to continue as scheduled. The coronavirus was spreading rapidly in many countries and it would also have posed a risk for the players to participate.
The tour will be suspended for a period of more than three months in total. This unprecedented break in the season put the players in a very difficult situation. Add to that the need to quarantine themselves at home in order to avoid contact with others, and it was a recipe for disaster.
The players, though, have made most of the situation and really taken to social media to keep themselves, and the fans entertained.
Novak Djokovic has dazzled us with his tennis for many years now. During this break, he has shown off his other talents as well.
Let’s be honest, the tennis knight does not look in good shape. Who am I to judge though? I couldn’t draw something decent enough to save my life.
Here is Novak Djokovic as an improvised Captain Hook.
A Captain Hook as fit and agile as this man would be a horror for Peter Pan.
As much as I love watching Novak pull this stuff at home, I sure hope we get to watch him play tennis again soon.
“It’s the Right Decision” – Novak Djokovic on Tokyo Olympics 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed most of the well-laid plans in all fields of life, no less the sporting world. Given the dire circumstances the planet is currently in, the International Olympic Committee has postponed the Tokyo Olympics 2020 to the following year. Novak Djokovic, who was in the hunt for his maiden Olympic Gold medal, has expressed his thoughts on the new development.
The IOC and the Japanese government were initially adamant about holding the Tokyo Games as scheduled. This led to a bit of an uproar and backlash from other nations and certain athletes. Understandably so, given the spread of the virus shows no signs of stopping any time soon.
Ultimately, the IOC decided to do the right thing and postpone the Games until next year.
Novak Djokovic and his Tokyo shoes
Novak Djokovic, who was looking forward to the Olympics but knows it as necessary in the light of the public health issues. He took to social media to let his fans know what he felt about it all.
He even posted a photo he took of himself last year in Japan.
From the looks of it, Novak Djokovic will have to make another pair of customized shoes to read ‘Tokyo 2021.’
Djokovic will certainly be disappointed that the Games won’t take place this ear anymore. He was in fine fettle since the start of the year having won all the events he played.
A rare missing medal from Novak’s cabinet is the Olympic Gold and he was confident of getting his hands on it this time around.
He will now have to wait until the next year to give it his best go for the medal. He had his plans all laid out for the remainder of the season before the ATP tour was suspended.
But I fully expect him to finally manage it and become an Olympic Gold medalist by next year.
