Novak Djokovic alongside Turkish footballer Yusuf Gültekin
Serbian tennis icon Novak Djokovic took to social media to sympathize with the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The 35-year-old, who is known for his charity efforts, showed his compassionate side to his fans once again with his message to the people of Turkey. He sent the message from Belgrade and was joined by the Turkish footballer Yusuf Gültekin.
Turkey and Syria are facing very tough times after the catastrophe that struck last week wreaking havoc among the population. More than 36000 people have lost their lives combined with many more still stuck under the debris. The tennis fraternity has joined hands to send their wishes to both nations.
Djokovic sent his message alongside the Turkish footballer Yusuf Gültekin sharing the pain of the affected population. In the message, he hoped for the country to stay united in the face of challenge and stay strong.
“I would like to send my best wishes and best regards to all the people of Turkey that are going through a very difficult time now. And I have seen photos, I have seen videos of the devastating effects on all the families, and my heart goes to everybody. I hope that people will stay strong and they will recover very soon in unity. So sending toy best wishes and stay strong. Stay Strong,” Djokovic conveyed in the post shared by the Instagram handle of Samsunspor, a Turkish professional football club.
Novak Djokovic’s tennis calendar facing the threat of travel restrictions
After enjoying the success of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic’s short terms plans are looking to hit a roadblock. He is once again facing the risk of restriction for his stand against vaccines. The 22-time Grand Slam champion was expected to compete in Indian Wells and Miami where he has won the tournaments multiple times but now that looks uncertain.
Earlier it was reported that the Serb has applied for the exemption to compete in the Sunshine Doubles tournaments. But as per Prakash Amritraj, it looks ‘tricky’. According to him granting an exemption to Djokovic will not be an easy decision considering his family also making the same request.
Djokovic is currently enjoying his time at the top of the rankings and is set to break the all-time record of Steffi Graf in the next week. Moving on, continuing his dominating form of the Australian Open and ending 2023 with the most Major titles will be his prime goal.
