Dijana Djokovic, Novak Djokovic’s mother, discovered what is one of the main reasons for her son’s success. The meeting with Patriarch Pavle changed his life, Diana discovered.
- “It was a moment, maybe even a turning point in his career. It simply happened that we could go to our late patriarch Pavle while he was in the hospital at the Military Medical Academy. He was sitting in an armchair in a blissful half-sleep. The deacon was with him, we brought him a monograph with dedication, a monograph when he won the Australian Open in 2008. He told him he had come to bless him. At one point he opened his eyes, I saw that they were sky blue eyes. He raised his hand and blessed Novak. ” – Dijana Djokovic was honest.
