At the end of the match with the Italian that earned him a pass to the third round, the Serb revealed an amusing ritual, namely the need to hug a Brazilian fig tree found in Melbourne gardens. A way to find inner peace.

“It has always been there to heal my wounds and keep me company. It is a wonderful bond, nature is such a powerful ally. We have a friendship that has lasted for over 20 years” the words of Nole Djokovic himself.

A ritual that will return soon. Nole Djokovic is now expected to challenge Botic van de Zandschulp.
