Novak Djokovic detail comes to light after Roger Federer’s farewell

Rafa Nadal’s emotional reaction to Roger Federer’s farewell has been the talk of the tennis world over the last few days.

Nadal was seen in tears alongside Federer after the final match of the Swiss legend’s career at the Laver Cup last weekend, with a photo of the pair holding hands going viral around the world.

‘UNREAL’: Novak Djokovic’s stunning act in return to ATP tour

But what many didn’t see was the fact that Novak Djokovic was equally as emotional at one stage during the farewell.

Nick Kyrgios landed himself in hot water with Djokovic fans this week after jokingly pointing out that at one stage the Serb was smiling in the background while Federer and Nadal were in tears.

But new fan footage posted on Twitter on Thursday showed the moment Djokovic broke down in tears after receiving a hug from Federer’s wife Mirka.

Mirka could be seen going around and hugging every member of Team Europe while a crying Federer embraced his young daughters not long after his final match.

The new footage shows the moment Djokovic burst into tears and tried to hide his emotions after the sweet embrace from Mirka.

“It was a very touching, very emotional moment,” Djokovic said this week in Tel Aviv ahead of his return to the ATP tour.

“Even when I saw his children and his family, it got me emotional.”
