Novak Djokovic made it to the Australian Open semi-finals after a tough match against Carlos Alcaraz, the world’s number three player. While his impressive performance has been the main talking point, another moment from the match has caught everyone’s attention. During a post-match interview, Djokovic interrupted to ask his kids, who were in the stands, why they were awake at 1 AM. His daughter’s cheeky response has fans grinning.
The Australian Open’s official Instagram shared the moment with the caption, “Tick tock, Novak. Tara Djokovic’s reaction to her dad’s late-night match is priceless.”
In the video, as Djokovic listens to the interviewer’s question, he seems distracted and says, “I heard your question… but I’m surprised that my kids are still here.” Turning to his children, he says, “I love you, thank you for supporting me, but it’s 1:00 am! When are you gonna sleep tonight?”
The crowd erupted in laughter as Tara responded by pretending to check an imaginary watch on her wrist.
Watch the viral video:
The video has garnered over 6.8 million views, and Internet users can’t help but praise the tennis legend, with many finding the clip heartwarming.
“The way his daughter taps her watch,” wrote a user in the comments. Another user said, “Now we know what makes him keep going even at 37.”
A third person commented, “Tara has his humour.” A fourth individual wrote, “Didn’t forget his job as a father.”
Djokovic’s victory over Alcaraz was a significant milestone in his quest for an 11th Australian Open title. However, his journey is far from easy. Up next, he’s set to face top-ranked players like Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner. If he comes out on top, Novak would make history by defeating the No. 3, No. 2, and No. 1 seeds in a single tournament.
