Novak Djokovic is a very well-liked player amongst the tennis fraternity. While he might not be able to match the popularity levels of his Big 3 counterparts Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the rumor mill has always indicated that the players like him more.
That’s why he’s also the President of the ATP Player’s Council. He is a representative in the true sense. One of the players who have always spoken highly of Novak is the Russian sensation Maria Sharapova.
The two have always been close friends. They recently divulged a lot of details about their relationship on an Instagram Live session. Let’s find out what happened after Maria decided to crash the press conference of Novak Djokovic.
What happened when Maria Sharapova crashed the press conference of Novak Djokovic?
It was Wimbledon 2012 and Novak Djokovic was just talking about his match in the post-match press conference. He was talking about a personal detail at one point as he said that he was living with his girlfriend and a small dog.
Maria decided to interrupt him there as she flirted with Novak in a manner that would make any guy blush. She said that of course, the dog was cute considering the owner. Novak was visibly flustered as he said he had a little poodle and that even Maria had a dog.
Maria continued with the jokes as she said her dog was fat. However, possibly the wittiest statement came from Novak as he was asked about the name of his dog. He revealed that his name was Pierre.
It was a French name that went to Germany but the dog was Serbian hence having a multinational character. The chemistry shared by the two gave a brief insight into why some fans thought they were dating earlier. It’s safe to say that both are happy in their lives with their respective romantic partners.
