Belgrade, Serbia – World-renowned tennis champion Novak Djokovic showcased his multifaceted talents when he surprised the audience by playing the saxophone during Croatian cellist Stjepan Hauser’s recent concert in Belgrade. Hauser, celebrated for his musical prowess, delivered a captivating performance at Belgrade’s Stark Arena on Tuesday, October 24, and the 2023 US Open champion was in attendance to witness the spectacle.
Djokovic’s tennis season has seen him take a brief hiatus, having triumphed with his record-breaking 24th Grand Slam title at the 2023 US Open in New York. This milestone not only solidified his place in tennis history but also equaled Margaret Court’s incredible Grand Slam record in the all-time winners’ list.
Following his triumph at Flushing Meadows, Djokovic returned to his hometown of Belgrade to celebrate Serbia’s silver-medal finish at the FIBA World Cup. In addition to his tennis-related endeavors, Djokovic has ventured into other sports, as evidenced by his participation in an All-Star golf match, playing alongside football star Gareth Bale during the Ryder Cup.
More recently, Djokovic continued to engage with the sporting world by attending a soccer match, where he watched the Serbian club Crvena Zvezda secure a 2-2 draw against Young Boys in the Champions League. With his sights set on the upcoming Paris Masters campaign, scheduled to commence on Monday, October 30, the Serb decided to unwind by enjoying an evening of musical enchantment at Hauser’s concert in Belgrade.
However, Djokovic’s involvement transcended that of a mere spectator. On this memorable evening, he joined Hauser and his musical ensemble on stage. With an unconventional but spirited attempt, Djokovic tried his hand at playing the saxophone, further cementing his reputation as a versatile and talented individual both on and off the court.
