Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic has made a heartfelt apology to his Chinese supporters after missing the chance to greet them upon his arrival in China for the Shanghai Masters. Despite being away from the country since 2019, he was unable to meet his fans at the airport and later expressed his regret.
“I am in China after five years and I miss you. I’m so sorry, really sorry that we didn’t meet at the airport yesterday.
“I was sad when I found out, I didn’t know you were there. They took me to another exit. I hope to see many of you in Beijing or Shanghai soon. I’m excited to be in China, mostly because of you who have been following me for years. I love you, I love you all.”
Djokovic, eager to reclaim his glory on Chinese courts with a fifth title, is striving to bounce back after an earlier than expected departure from the US Open due to Alexei Popyrin in August. He aims to recapture his 2018 form in China.
With his sights set firmly on victory, Djokovic has been afforded some extra preparation time as he enters the tournament in the second round, awaiting the winner of the game between Alex Michelsen and Yunchaokete Bu, reports the Express.
