Novak Djokovic apologized for missing a greeting at the airport

Novak Djokovic apologized for missing a greeting at the airport

Novak Djokovic was escorted from the airport in China and apologized to fans after missing the warm welcome from those waiting for his arrival. The Serb returns to the court next week at the Shanghai Masters and is aiming for his 5th.

Nole is the tournament’s most successful player with four titles from nine appearances and will play in Shanghai for the first time since 2019. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was held up by fans on the streets of Shanghai and explained that he was escorted out of the airport through an alternative exit.

“I’m so sorry we didn’t meet at the airport”

Loud Sportal.rs The Serb apologized to fans after being forced to leave the airport without meeting them: “I’m in China after five years and I miss you. “I’m so sorry, really sorry, that we found ourselves at the airport yesterday.”

“I was sad when I found out. I didn’t know you were there. They took me to another exit. I hope to see many of you in Beijing or Shanghai soon. I’m happy to be in China, especially because of you, who have been following me for years. I love you, I love you all.

After his early third-round exit at the US Open against Alexei Popyrin, Djokovic will return to winning ways. The Serb has not won a Grand Slam title this season for the first time since 2017, but there are still some challenges before the season is over. Nole is ranked 9th in the ATP race and is close to qualifying for the ATP Finals, although he will need to perform well in his final tournaments to secure his place in Turin.
