World number one tennis player Novak Djokovic once again demonstrated his linguistic skills. It happened in Australia when a Chinese reporter asked him to wish the country's fans a Happy New Year after his 2-1 defeat at the 2024 United Cup in Perth. The reporter who asked the question prompted Djokovic to say the sentence, but was shocked when he recited a much longer sentence. Fellow player Olga Danilovic and Serbian team captain Viktor Troicki, who joined Djokovic at the press conference, were astonished by his unexpected response.
