The best tennis player of all time, Novak Djokovic, is spending the period after his brilliant performance at the Australian Open in "his" Greece.
Nole has been out of favor with the Serbian regime led by Aleksandar Vučić for a long time, which is why he moved to Greece with his family.
He also moved his tennis tournament there, which was held in Belgrade until 2024, and Athens literally became his second home.
Djokovic met today with the Minister of Migration in the Greek Government, Thanos Plevris.
The picture from the meeting quickly spread on social media, but much more important than the picture was the topic of conversation between the two.
"It is a great honor that he and his family want to stay in our country," the Greek minister said.
The Greeks are, to put it mildly, delighted.
"It is a great honor that he wants to stay in our country with his family," the Greek minister reportedly said.
"From Grand Slams to Greece becoming his home. A new chapter begins in Athens for Novak Djokovic - a legend whose journey continues to inspire, both on and off the court. It is a great honor for Greece to host one of the greatest athletes of all time," writes "Greek City Times".
Djokovic watched the Euroleague basketball match between Olympiacos and Red Star Belgrade in Piraeus last night.
Nole is a Red Star fan, but he had a great welcome, Olympiacos gave him a jersey from playmaker Vocap.
He also gave a statement to ANT1 television. When asked if he now feels like a Greek, he said:
"I feel like a Greek, but I still have to learn Greek. I'm not very good at the language yet, it's not easy. My plan for this season is to stay healthy and happy," said Djokovic.
