The world's best tennis player Novak Djokovic today travels to Tokyo where he will be taking part in the Olympic Games. He held a press conference at the Belgrade airport, when he said that he was going for the gold medal and that there was no greater honor than playing for Serbia.

At the end of the conference, Novak was played the Serbian national anthem, the words to which he proudly sang.

It's interesting that at the same time as Novak was holding the conference, the Red Star football squad arrived at the airport. They will play the second round of Champions League qualifications against Kairat, in Kazakhstan, on Wednesday, starting at 4 pm.

That is why Novak Djokovic and Red Star head coach Dejan Stankovic came across each other, when they greeted each other warmly and hugged.

They wished the other luck, Novak to Red Star in Kazakhstan, and Stankovic to Djokovic at the Olympic Games.

It's well known that Novak Djokovic and Dejan Stankovic are great friends. The Red Star coach was also present at some of Novak's private celebrations, and it's also no secret that Djokovic is a big Red Star fan, whose games he watches whenever his obligations allow.
