write this blog post in serbie Novak Djokovic recently met up with NBA star Bogdan Bogdanovic following Serbia’s victory over Greece in the Davis Cup World Group 1. The former World No.1 played a pivotal role in helping his nation win the tie and subsequently qualify for the tournament’s qualifying round in 2025. This comes after the Serb’s disappointing campaign at the US Open, where he beat Radu Albot and compatriot Laslo Djere before suffering a four-set defeat to 28th seed Alexei Popyrin in the third round.
In the Davis Cup showdown, Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic set the tone by defeating Greece’s Aristotelis Thanos 6-3, 6-3, giving his country an early 1-0 lead. Djokovic then extended his country’s advantage to 2-0 with a dominant victory over Ioannis Xilas, winning 6-0, 6-1. With Serbia needing just one more win to secure a spot in the 2025 Davis Cup qualifiers, the 24-time Grand Slam champion teamed up with Hamad Medjedovic for the doubles match. After a hard-fought battle lasting two hours and 10 minutes, Djokovic and Medjedovic emerged victorious over the Greek duo of Aristotelis Thanos and Petros Tsitsipas, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
After Serbia’s victory in the Davis Cup World Group 1 tie against Greece, Serbian basketball player Bogdan Bogdanovic, who was in attendance at the arena, had the opportunity to meet with Novak Djokovic. The official social media account of Davis Cup shared the picture of the two meeting each other.
