After a nail-biting finish at US Open 2020 finals, both Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev have received worldwide appreciation. Though the former stood tall at the end and defeated the latter in a close contest, it is evident that both were winners. The latest to join the appreciation team is World No.1 and 17-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic.

It looked like the Serbian was closely following the US Open finals. But, it was really unfortunate to not see him there with the kind of form he was enjoying in 2020. Djokovic recently shared 2 pictures on his Twitter handle and wrote a message.
