The biggest tennis event in Serbia, the Serbia Open is all set to welcome 20-time grand slam champion, Novak Djokovic, once again on home soil. As expected, Djokovic will be the top seed and the overwhelming favorite to win the event. And given the restrictions Djokovic is facing worldwide, the tournament will be of high importance in his Roland Garros preparation.

The Serbia Open will have a packed playing field led by Djokovic and will feature the likes of Andrey Rublev, Dominic Thiem, Gaël Monfils, and others. Now, the tournament director, Djordje Djokovic has said that he wants Australian showman Nick Kyrgios to play the Serbia Open because of the flare and eyes he brings.

Djordje said that he wants to bring Kyrgios in order to thank him for supporting Djokovic. He added that the Aussie is an entertainer and expresses his opinion without any filter and is a serious athlete.

“I want to bring Nick Kyrgios to Belgrade, to thank him for supporting Novak, Belgrade, and Serbia. He is an entertainer, he doesn’t mince his words and he will always express his opinion, whatever it may be. But above all, he is a serious athlete and tennis player. I hope that he will come to the Serbia Open before he finishes his tennis career,” he said.

Djordje provided an update about Nole that he is training in Belgrade and is preparing for the Monte Carlo Masters. He added that Novak is confirmed to play Monte Carlo Masters and Serbia Open and could even compete in Rome ahead of the French Open, where he will be defending his title.

“Novak is here, training in Belgrade and preparing for Monte Carlo. He went through a terrible period, but he endured till the end and showed and proved why he is what he is. He was in Dubai and unfortunately lost the quarterfinals there. He lacks the continuity of matches and tournaments, to be on the field,” he said.

“I hope that he will continue with great games, and Belgrade and Monte Carlo are tournaments where he is preparing for Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Until the last moment, he did not know if he would be able to play, but fortunately, he will appear in Paris, Rome, London, and Madrid. The ATP does not have much say in this, since rules vary from country to country.”
