Novak Djokovic: Serena Williams and Me Are Living in the Same Hotel
Recently, the Serbian ace gave his first interview after arriving in Adelaide. The interviewer asked him about his associate, Serena Williams’ whereabouts.
Novak responded, “I haven’t seen Serena, which is weird because we’re staying at the same hotel. But we haven’t seen each other, obviously because of the restrictions and isolation. I only see people from my team. I know she’s here, I know she’s training. I’ll send her a message and hopefully, she can reach out to you guys.”
