Meanwhile, tennis legend Novak Djokovic recently spoke to Sony Sports about his visit to India, nearly a decade ago. “I have been to India only once so far in my life. It was, I think, 10 or 11 years ago. I came to play an exhibition event in New Delhi for two days. It was a very short stay. So, I really hope that I will be able to come back in the near future, too, because I have a great desire, great wish to explore your beautiful country that has so much history, so much culture to offer to the world and spirituality as well. It's amazing,” Djokovic said.
The Serb was last seen in action in the Australian Open semi-finals last week where he lost to Italy's Jannik Sinner.
