Olga Danilovic definitely didn’t force a viral reaction she delivered during the United Cup as the 23-year-old says hearing Novak Djokovic speaking Chinese was “the highlight” of her time at the event.
At the start of the 2024 season, the WTA world No. 97 made her United Cup. There, she got a chance to play in two mixed doubles matches with the record 24-time Grand Slam champion.
On December 31st, Danilovic and Djokovic defeated China’s Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen 6-4 1-6 10-6. Later in the presser, the 37-year-old wished a happy new year in Chinese. The moment left his mixed doubles partner stunned and in disbelief.
“Happy New Year! How are you, thank you for your support, I love you, China, my good friend!” Djokovic said in Chinese as the 23-year-old couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.
