On the night Nole Djokovic got rid of Italy’s Francesco Maestrelli in three sets, showing very solid tennis and a decidedly calm state of mind. Winner of 10 Australian Opens, the Serb feels at home in Melbourne, partly because there’s always an old friend waiting for him at every edition.

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.
