„Well, I don’t know the boy, but he was in my ear the entire match,“ said Djokovic, who won his 19th Grand Slam title with the win.
Novak Djokovic made a valiant comeback Sunday afternoon in Paris to win his second French Open and 19th overall Grand Slam title. The world’s top-ranked player fell behind two sets to none against fifth-seeded Stefanos Tsotsipas and stormed back to win the final in five sets,6-7 (6),2-6,6-3,6-2,6-4. The two tennis players met at mid-court for a handshake, and Djokovic hoisted his arms into the air to celebrate the victory. What he did next left a little boy in celebratory tears. Djokovic went over to the crowd and handed the racket he used from the match to a young boy, who accepted the gift and cried tears of joy. Here’s the priceless video of the moment at Roland Garros. Djokovic said in the post-match press conference that he didn’t know the child, but the young boy had been vocal the entire match, especially when the champion was down two sets on Sunday.
