A journalist from the Novak Tennis Center in Belgrade, Serbia, asked Medvedev something during the press conference. However, the Russian didn’t get the question because of some network issues. Interestingly, before asking him to repeat his question, he took a jibe at Novak Djokovic.

“First of all I think Novak has to improve the internet connection inside the center, because I heard only half question,” said Medvedev and then started laughing.

Started by Nole, the Novak Tennis Center currently has 14 tennis courts. Besides teaching children and youngsters, the Center also provides schooling to adults.
