It is fair to say that Novak Djokovic hasn’t quite been the media’s ‘darling child’ over the years. With several controversies such as not taking the Covid-19 vaccine or his constant feud with fans and chair umpires, Djokovic has copped the negative attention of the media over the years. This created a major myth that he is unfriendly with the media and that they (especially the Western media) are biased against him. In a recent act of kindness, Djokovic smashed that myth.
It involved a reporter for Eurosport, talking to him about the Monte-Carlo Masters 2024. Novak Djokovic was speaking to a female journalist, who found herself in a fortunate position to be wearing Djokovic’s jacket. The Eurosport reporter was interviewing Djokovic outdoors, on what was an elevated area beside the Monte Carlo Country Club courts.
At that elevation, at this time of the year, Monte Carlo, Roqueburne-Cap-Martin can get very cold, with temperatures dropping below 15* Celsius as well. As the lady was feeling cold, Djokovic acted as a gentleman and gave her his jacket.
