Novak Djokovic just won the second round at the Australian Open today against Alexei Popyrin. He is currently chasing his 11 men’s title in Melbourne and of course, his fans are hopeful for him to win. But with constant winning comes the mental and physical toll that might be unimaginable to someone not living like Nole.

However, the world number one has found a secret to release the pressure and remain calm amidst all the chaos of the tournament. It is meditating amidst the amazing botanical garden that Melbourne has to offer. In fact, he also revealed that he has a favorite secret spot there.

Novak Djokovic finds a hidden spot in Melbourne to meet his ‘old friend’

In his post-match conference, Novak Djokovic was asked about how between his matches he likes to go to Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria and spend time near a special tree that he adores. To which he responds that it is true that he has developed a special relationship with the tree.

Djokovic added, “There’s one particular tree that I’ve been having a special relationship with for the last 15 years. That particular tree, I cannot reveal which one, I’ll keep it discreet for myself when I’m there to have my own time. I like to ground myself and connect with that old friend. I got connected with that tree. I liked its roots and the trunks and branches. So I started climbing it years ago. I just have a connection.”
