The best Serbian tennis player, Novak Djokovic, is playing a match this morning to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, and his opponent is the Australian tennis hope Alex de Minaur.

Nole and Alex have never crossed paths on the court before, so this will be a kind of premiere in which we will see what the Australian can do.

Although this will be his "home pitch," our great Novak will also have big support from the stands, but also in Melbourne Park, where many Serbian flags and our people could be seen ahead of the match.

There were people of all ages, from attractive girls to older and younger people. One of the girls said,  God willing that he wins tonight too" - referring to Djokovic triumphing today, local time.

In addition to Australians, the Serbs are by far the most present in the complex in Melbourne.
