Australian Open: Quarantined Novak Djokovic strikes conversation with SA girl from balcony.


Novak Djokovic made a little girl’s day when he waved at her and struck up a conversation from his balcony during compulsory quarantine ahead of the Australian Open 2021.

Clutching the same Head brand racquet Djokovic uses, nine-year-old Ava Moukachar tried twice to catch a glimpse of her idol and it was on Friday that her dream came true. While the Serbian is staying at the newly-opened Majestic M Suites Hotel in Adelaide, other tennis players are going through a strict quarantine in Melbourne.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion, who stood on his balcony, noticed Ava and waved at her, according to news.com.au. The girl responded by by asking him who he thought would win the forthcoming match – him or his competitor.
