Novak broken down about Kobe: He barely found words to say goodbye to friend and mentor!

Novak Djokovic was struck by the news of the death of Kobe Bryant, a basketball legend.

Nole is known to have built a great relationship with Kobe, and in his latest interview at the Australian Open he spoke highly of him, while Kobe was known to praise our grandmaster and show that he liked him much more than other tennis stars.

They often met each other whenever obligations allowed, and now Novak sent a message of condolences from Australia.

"My heart truly mourns over the news today. Kobe was a great mentor and friend. There are not enough words to express my deepest sympathies to the Bryants and every family suffering from this tragedy. May God bless you and your Gianna," Nole wrote, posting a photo he took with Bryant.
