Novak Djokovic’s wife, Jelena, and their children, Stefan and Tara, watched the match from the player’s box.
Novak Djokovic earned a spot in the Australian Open semi-final, and his performance has expectedly been a topic of discussion among fans. However, there is another moment from the event that has stolen the spotlight. It is when he interrupted a post-match interview to ask his kids, sitting in the players’ box, why they were awake until 1 am. His daughter’s reaction following the remark by her concerned dad has also left people smiling.
The video of the sweet moment was posted on the official Instagram page of the Australian Open. “Tick tock, Novak. Tara Djokovic’s reaction to her dad’s late-night match is priceless,” read the caption shared along with the video.
In the clip, the interviewer asks Novak a question, which he listens to but seems distracted. At this point, the former world no 1 says, “I heard your question… but I’m surprised that my kids are still here.”
He then addresses his children and continues, “I mean… I love you, thank you for supporting me, but it’s 1:00 am! When are you gonna sleep tonight?” amid the audience’s cheers.
What did his daughter do?
As soon as Djokovic makes the remarks, Tara points at an imaginary watch at her wrist and starts tapping it, prompting the audience to burst into laughter.
