Australian Open 2025 LIVE updates: Djokovic wins, refuses to do on court interview, Zverev cruises through; Alcaraz’s care for injured Draper
Fresh from his fourth-round victory over Jiri Lehecka, Novak Djokovic has marked the Christian holiday of Epiphany, celebrated today by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
He shunned the post-match interview, but wrote “Bog se javi” (God reveals himself) in Serbian Cyrillic script on the camera after the match, a greeting marking Epiphany, which falls on January 19 under the Julian calendar followed by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Churches following the Gregorian calendar, including some Orthodox ones, celebrate Epiphany on January 6.

He was also spotted attending a Christmas liturgy at the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity in Brunswick.
