Novak Djokovic celebrates his victories by mimicking the sound of a violin with his tennis racket.
In the world of tennis, Novak Djokovic has made a name for himself not only for his exceptional skills on the court but also for his creative and expressive celebrations. His latest celebration, which he unveiled during the Brisbane International tournament, sees him holding his tennis racket like a violin and bowing the imaginary strings.
This musical gesture is a tribute to his six-year-old daughter, Tara, who has been learning to play the violin for six months. The idea for this celebration was born when Tara suggested that Djokovic should play the saxophone in his celebrations.
Djokovic's new celebration now includes a saxophone, blending classical music influences (violin and saxophone) with rhythmic, possibly tribal or house music elements. This unique artistic expression reflects Djokovic's known interest in music beyond tennis, which he has often spoken about in interviews.
In a 2012 interview, Djokovic mentioned that he listens to classical music to calm his nerves. After one of his musical tributes, he was seen blowing a kiss towards his family box, which was especially delightful for Tara. Djokovic stated that his family's presence in Australia makes his heart full.
The Brisbane International tournament saw Djokovic make it to the quarter-finals. With 24 Grand Slam titles under his belt, Djokovic continues to dominate the tennis world.
