This summer, as he progressed in pursuit of an eighth Wimbledon trophy, the Serbian sporting superstar developed a
new celebration after winning matches, holding his tennis racket like a violin, and miming bowing the strings.
The musical gesture was for his six-year-old daughter, who is currently learning
the violin. “That was for Tara,” Djokovic said in post-match interviews. “My
daughter has been playing violin for some time already, six months, and we agreed that I would celebrate that way.”
After his special musical tribute, Djokovic can be seen blowing a kiss towards his family box – to the delight of his daughter.
A month and an Olympic gold later, violinist-conductor Julian Rachlin and some musical friends were playing a
concert to celebrate the athlete’s Paris 2024 win. And it seems racket was swiftly
swapped for viola… watch the footage below, shared by Rachlin on 8 August.
