A young fan's day was made when Novak Djokovic gifted him his racquet after winning the French Open.?
Djokovic won from 2 sets down and credited that boy for 'encouraging' him throughout the match.?
¡°He was in my ear the entire match basically, especially when I was two-sets-to-love down,¡± he told reporters.
?¡°He was encouraging me. He was actually giving me tactics, as well. He was like, ¡®Hold your serve, get an easy first ball, then dictate, go to his backhand.¡¯ He was coaching me, literally," he added.?
¡°I found that very cute, very nice. So I felt like giving the racquet to the best person was him after the match. That was kind of my gratitude for him sticking with me and supporting me," he added.?
?The boy could not believe it when he got the gift.??
