Novak Djokovic was left surprised by a WhatsApp revelation following his hard-fought victory in the early rounds of the 2025 Australian Open. After overcoming a tough challenge on the court, Djokovic learned during his post-match interview that he had missed a series of messages from his family and friends on WhatsApp.
The Serbian star admitted that, due to his intense focus on the tournament, he had been too busy to check his phone or respond to messages. The 24-time Grand Slam champion laughed about the situation, saying, “I had no idea! I haven’t opened WhatsApp in a while. I’m usually not so great at keeping up during tournaments, especially when I’m in the zone.”
Djokovic had just endured a challenging match that pushed him to his limits, with his opponent coming close to causing a major upset. Despite some physical discomfort, the Serbian managed to dig deep and secure the win, keeping his title hopes alive.
When asked about the messages, Djokovic acknowledged the importance of his support system, which includes his family and team. He said that he relies on their encouragement during tough matches but prefers to stay in his “mental zone” throughout the tournament. “They understand I’m focused and busy, but I’ll definitely catch up on those messages soon.”
Djokovic’s candid and lighthearted reaction to the WhatsApp revelation added a touch of humor to the intense post-match atmosphere, showing his ability to remain calm and grounded even in high-pressure situations.
