Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic qualified for the third round of the ATP tournament in Athens, after defeating Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, score 7-6 (3), 6-1, and after the match, at the press conference, an interesting situation took place.
After the victory against Tabilo, Novak appeared in front of journalists in the capital Athens, and the conference was interrupted at one point.
Novak's wife, Jelena, and his son, Stefan, suddenly appeared in the room, wanting the greatest tennis player of all time to interrupt the conference for a short family chat: “Can we take him for a second and then he'll be back?”.
Their wish was not fulfilled, even Nole being the one who insisted on ending the discussion with the media representatives: “We'll finish in a minute and I'll be right after.” The clip ends abruptly, with Jelena looking confused that her husband didn't leave the conference at that very moment.

Djokovic revealed why he moved to Greece!
The Serbian gave an interview before the tournament, in which he revealed the reason why he moved to Greece.
“There are many historical, religious, social, cultural links between Greece and Serbia, which is a big reason why I'm here. Also, the weather and food are incredible and the coast is one of the most beautiful. I love the lifestyle and I really feel that the Greek and Serbian people are like brothers. That's the biggest reason.” – Novak Djokovic
Novak has been spotted several times with his son Stefan at sporting events in Athens.
“We as a family are trying to see how life goes here. The experience… We've been here just under two months, but so far it's been a very positive experience.” – Novak Djokovic
